Hayden's Surgery

This morning Hayden had an upper EGD performed. He is now acting like nothing even happened. He did just get up from an extremely long nap. Dr. Cleavus said that his esophagus and stomach looked great, no signs of acid reflux. She did tell us that his test results came back positive for the cow's milk, peanuts, corn and wheat allergies. Which basically includes everything you could possible eat. As most everybody knows when Hayden was about 6 mths old we found out that he was highly allergic to milk, and eventually out grew it by the time he was 1 1/2. He loves milk and drinks tons of it daily, So Craig and I both didn't know how to react to the news, and the DR. was of no help, she just told us to come back in two weeks for his biopsy reports. Needless to say, we are not impressed with this dr! So as on our way home, I call Dr. Schlactus, Hayden's allergist, and told the nurses what we had been told, so we have to be in his office, first thing in the morning.

The surgery went well. While we were talking to the anesthesiologist before surgery, we told her about how Hayden reacted when he woke up from his surgery for his tubes. She told us that the happy juice that they give them to calm them down so they don't freak out when they leave us on the way to the operating room, sometimes would cause the wake up reactions alot worse. So we decided not to give him the happy juice. So I was afraid that he would cry when we had to leave, and he didn't even get a little upset, the anesthesiologist even came into the waiting room to tell us how well he was acting after he left us, not even a watery eye. Sure enough, when they wheeled him back to this room, he was calm and quiet, unlike all the other kids we had been hearing all morning. He is such a trooper! He was asking the nurse to take out his boo-boo cause he wanted to go home, he was ready. So we still don't know why he is having the spells that he has been having, I just hope that we find out soon.

I want to thank everyone who keep us in their thoughts and prayers.
