So, they told us we had to be at Primary Children's Hospital at 7:30 this morning to do all of the registration, vitals and all the fun stuff. Everything went well up until they started his IVs. They had a hard time finding a vein in his hand, but were eventually able to get it started. Then when they tried to do the one in his arm they had a lot of trouble. They couldn't get a vein there either. Poor Bailey got a little light headed from them digging around. The anesthesiologist said that he would take care of him when he had him back in the O.R.
They said that they will do a nerve block for his lower legs to control the pain. If they do that, he may be able to come home a little earlier. They also said that they are going to make a relief cut in the muscle so that when the muscle swells, it will have somewhere to go besides just bleeding into the muscle.
He is in good spirits, a little nervous as to be expected. I should get an update after an hour and a half, and he should be done after 3 1/2 hours.
I will post again when I know more.
