Home Sweet Home

Well Gregory has made a 360˚ recovery. We were discharged from home on 2-12. My son continues to amaze. He went from a turn for the worse (ventilator) ,to a superb state. I did not know latex could cause such problems. The surgery seems to be a success. Greg still has minor secretions ( drool). I am just happy that we are not going through 15 towels in one day.


We will have to make a post op visit to an allergist. They will do a blood test to make sure Greg is in fact allergic to latex. They sent us home with an epipen (epinephrin) just in case.

I would like to send a special Thanks x2 to Denise on the Mott Children's PICU Floor. She gave Gregory outstanding care!

God is truly Good!

Post Surgery Mayhem!

Today was the day of Gregory's surgery. The surgery was suppose to be a "minimal procedure". Gregory's tentative surgery schedule was suppose to be: 1. Bilateral ear tube replacements. 2. Parotid duct ligation 3. Submandibular gland excision.

#2 ,and #3 are way's to control excess drooling. We arrived at 8:15 and surgery was scheduled for 9:30 am. Greg's operation didn't start until 10: 20 am. During the operation they said Gregory had an "allergic reaction" to the latex drain tubes. They said he had bronchial spasms. Since having this episode in the OR he is now intubated (ventilator) and a current patient in the PICU.


This surgery went from minimal to pure mayhem. Please keep gregory in your prayers as he recovers from this dramatic incident.
