JAXSON'S SURGERY

Jax did well during surgery!The surgeon found many more keyloid scar tissue inside then he thought and had to call more surgeons in to help.He had one on the outside his trach the size of a grape.He had 5 more inside and one was pretty big which was causing airway issues.He did so well they sent him home.As we were leaving recovery for the elevator Jax started coughing and bleeding allot from his trach.Michael and I was suctioning him and freaking out as wow that was allot of blood.A nurse also panicked and had us come back to recovery and went and got the surgeon.He said the bleeding is normal as when Jax coughing his trach is rubbing where his scar tissue was.It scares me to death to see him bleed like that.
We got home at 9 p.m. and cleaned jax up and put fresh clothes on him as he had blood everywhere.I gave him more Tylenol at 9 pm for pain and hooked him up to 300 MLS of water via gtube.Jax cant eat until after midnight.I am up for the night to make sure my sweet baby is pain free and comfortable.Right now he is sprawled out asleep in Landens bed.In a half hour he will get his first feed after 24 hrs and some motrin for pain and more neosporin on his surgery site outside his stoma.I don't want to wake him for a diaper change although he needs it as he needs rest .When he is awake he cries which causes coughing and blood.So for now the diaper waits.Please keep my little one in prayers for a quick recovery and healing time!
