Now I just have to wait for the ventilator and the RA line to come out before I can hold him. Hopefully by early next week!
Cohen right after closure. Heavily sedated but he kept his blood pressure good throughout.

Big day!
Cohen had his incision closed this morning. They started at 7:30am and they finished around 10:15. He looks really good but he is under a lot of anesthesia which will start wearing off in 2 or so hours. I came down to see him and sign papers before the procedure. It was 6:30am and he was wide awake looking around. They only ended up putting in 1 RA line for his TPN and they put an IV in his foot for his meds. They will start him on Heparin this afternoon. They inserted a feeding tube through his nose directly to the gut. When he gets off the ventilator a speech therapist will come and work with him on swallowing. He will also have a physical therapist work with him.
Now I just have to wait for the ventilator and the RA line to come out before I can hold him. Hopefully by early next week!
