Surgery Day! Sad Day!

Well we did it. We got surgery, but it was not how it was anticipated. ENT did their thing. They found that Ryker has a small airway and small nasal passages. Nothing new there. I are going to do a CT scan tomorrow to see if there is a blockage in his sinuses. Now to the bad news. The Gtube procedure was going well. They placed the tube and it was great until they stuck a scope down poor little Ryker's esophagus to check placement and the doctor ripped his esophagus open. So he was leaking fluids into his airway and lungs. Awesome! right. well they had to put in a stent to protect the hole so no fluids can get out. Now he will be in there for another month to six weeks. They have him on a breathing machine again with an IV pumping him full of antibiotics so he doesn't get an infection. So he won't be feed for a week. He will need another surgery to take the stent out in two weeks. If the esophagus doesn't repair itself, well we will be put onto a waiting list for a donor esophagus. They will have to replace his with a new one. And the journey pushes forward. Today was a hard day for mom, dad, and baby. We do appreciate all the support, but for now, we don't want any phone calls. We love you all and we will reach out to you when we feel not overwhelmed of the sitution.
