Surgery is over and Ben is home...
and he is recovering from the anesthesia like a champ. This could be his best post-op yet (it's nice not having anything cut while under). His ears were cleaned, two deflux injections were given (we are crossing our fingers that these worked and will find out in three months after some tests) and his airway was scoped. Unfortunately, his airway is still in really bad shape and they haven't seen any improvement since the drool procedure. Because of this, they have decided not to do any airway reconstruction until he is at least 3, but more likely 4 or 5.

So glad that Ben did well and is back home.
So glad that is over and you are home again. Was thinking about you all day and Daddy told me tonight you were a little trooper...just like always.
Love you lots,
Gramma Mo
Congrats on the recovery Ben but we are sorry to learn about the airway issue. I know you are very frustrated since you thought the trach was going to be a shorter term solution.
Keep us posted...we love you very much and are relieved to know all went relatively well.
Love, Amy and Max
I am so glad he is recovering well and I am sorry about the news on the airway. Good job Ben glad to hear you are home.
Hugs,
Crystal and Eva
Yeah Ben! We're so glad to hear all went well. Now we'll keep our fingers crossed for your VCUG to show little or no reflux in three months!!
Take it easy with your fist pounding while you recover:).
Love from MO,
Corrie
Hi Ben,
I'm glad to hear you are already on the road to recovery (do you and Tate have some kind of secret "Healing Race" going on???). Fingers crossed the Deflux injection worked on both sides.
Hugs,
Sarah, Jeremy, and Evan
Glad to hear that Ben's surgery and recovery went well. Am sorry to hear that his airway hasn't improved any, though. We hope you get good news on the reflux injections in three months.
Give a hug to Ben for us!
