Success! (So far)

Dashiell is resting, with a new liver inside his belly. Much work remains in the coming days and weeks... more surgeries and procedures, not to mention countless tests and screenings.

He has already been extubated, to the surprise of the MDs who tell us most children his age remain intubated for days after this sort of procedure. Him? Four hours after closing.

He wants to "get out of this room" and "eat some food". Fat chance, but good thinking.

He is more courageous than any child I have ever known, and is a fighter. I advised the anesthesiologist to prepare multiple doses of sedative for pre-op, which they declined, and naturally, he fought the nurses and required... multiple doses. Good boy!

Thank you for your kind words and blessings... they apparently carry some weight.

More details later. I am going to pass out now.
