So Aidan had his cochlear surgery today...pirate:
Well we are in a room and all went pretty well. He isn't a fan of the big bandage but that comes off in the morning. Right now he is resting fairly well.
The surgery surprised the docter which is not always good. It seems Aidan has lots of bone marrow in his skull, so when they started to drill, he started to bleed and bleed he did. His body holds about 800cc and he lost 450cc. :scared1: The docter told us in the 300+ surgery's he's done, he has never seen a child do this. So leave it to Aidan to cause a little trouble.
Well it all went well after that and we got to stay out of the ICU and not have to get a transfusion. He does look like a little ghost at the moment, but he's our little ghost and he's now safe.
I get to enjoy the nice plastic chair (bed) this evening and we will hopefully go home tomorrow. :cheer2:
Thanks for the prayers and support, we will do this all again in a few months.
