The biggest tubes are now gone! Conner just had his two chest drain tubes removed. They just gave little versed (so he would relax and lay on the table, and hopefully not remember the experience) and morphine (for the pain) and yanked. Really. His surgeon came in during the procedure, and kept instructing the nurse practitioners to pull it out FAST. I have since been told that the speed is needed to keep air from getting in- very important! Keir and I were in the room, and also got to see his incision for the first time. Wow. What an amazing brave kid! And, what amazing doctors we have. I cannot believe the things surgeons are able to do. Not to mention how FAST Conner is recovering. Simply Amazing!
Conner is now resting in bed, and we expect him to take a good nap given the extra meds and stress of the procedure.
