My 7 year old Beau will have surgery Friday March 15. I am told he will be inpatient 2-3 days. I need advice, suggestions, thoughts and prayers for him and our family during this time. What should we expect?? Nerves are starting to get the best of me!!
Hi...
Just wanted to see how you and Beau are ..thinking of you and your little one...please let us know how Beau is doing.
my prayers are with Beau and your family today and in the future. Please let us know his progress
Thank you everyone. Surgery was Friday and we were able to come home Tuesday afternoon. The surgery took about 2 hours. The compression was worse than originally thought. Once decompressed there was a large dent left in the brain area. we are not sure of what affects it was causing and may cause now. Beau will have another PT appointment next week for his right leg, he is not walking right on it. He is lifting it different and they are concerned about it. There was other problems that he faced in surgery like his carbon dioxide levels increased. After surgery and during our stay his O2 kept dropping requiring oxygen. His heart rate and respiration's also dropped to a very low level.
We are glad to be home and resting. He will take it easy for the next few weeks and see how things go. His incision is larger than expected too.
thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.
