The surgery went well. They had one minor thing happen while he was being intubated (anesthesiologist used scissors to guide the tube down Moses throat and accidentally cut him on the soft palette) he has one stitch there.
He will be intubated until tomorrow and obviously very sedated so Christian and Lisa will have the night to themselves taking care of him and the rest of the family will get to peek in on him tomorrow.
Please pray for a speedy healing and that the cut will heal ultra-fast so he will be able to suck his pacifier and feed with no pain- those are small comforts to this little guy and we don't want that to be robbed from him.
Also, please keep Christian and Lisa in your prayers over the next week. It's hard to watch your child in even a little bit of pain, so this time will be probably harder on them in some ways than on Mose. Especially when he is so small and can't articulate his pain and needs. So pray that they have an acute awareness of his needs during this critical period.
One thing they said is that babies who have the Glenn Procedure have a pretty bad headache for about 2 weeks because the blood flow to their brain changes, therefore the pressure in the head changes and causes a headache. So, they said to anticipate a cranky baby. Pray that this headache and other pain would be minimized.
