Home Sweet Home

We're home from Brayton's 2nd dilation. It went well, although Dr. Lee said that was still pretty tight & there was scar tissue. He said he got it opened to about a pen width, which to me, sounds smaller than last time but I guess it's pretty similiar. About a pinky width. I'm guessing it started to constrict a little more just in those 2 weeks in between dilations. They had a hard time getting an I.V (we didn't know this until afterwards since they do everything in the O.R and we're not allowed in) so he was stuck 15 times total. They finally got the I.V- in his neck.




Last time they put him to sleep before they attempted an IV so I'm hoping they did the same this time since it took so many times. Dr. Lee told us that if we can't see better results, we are going to have to do even more frequent dilations, and try some different techniques. Fingers crossed that things get better! His next dilation is scheduled for April 1st. April Fools Day.

Well, it's been a long day, the little guy is in bed, and Nikiya is awake since she slept most the way home, so I'm going to go lay down with her, and watch a little bit of Princess & The Frog which we pre-ordered a long time ago, and just received today! We saw it in theaters, & the girls adored it.

Goodnight everyone!
