In June of 2008 we were able to have Wyatt's surgery. Now from what I was told, if all went well we would only be there for 5 days. He went in the morning, and it was suppose to be a 1 1/2 to 2 hours surgery, it was 3 hours. He ended up needing a special machine that would allow him to see the placement better.
The same day, in fact hours after the was up and walking around, and playing, it was so cute. He had a cup like thing on his ear and a band around his head to help put pressure on his ear. The one thing we had to be careful for was the fluid. He is like me, when I was 15 I think, I had surgery to try to correct my hearing, and as soon as the doctor started to drill, the fluid that surrounds your brain, started to leak.
OK, let me go farther on me. I was elected to try to fix my hearing, and what the doctor wanted to do was find one of the bones in my ear and replace it with a man made bone. Well it didn't work. I ended up leaking for 5 days. To this day, my equilibrium is messed up.
Back to Wyatt. We had the doctor come in a few hours later when he got moved to another hospital for recovery. It turns out that he had developed a fluid pack on the side of his head. We ended up having to have a late night surgery.
Sorry I have to stop. Attached is the link if you would like to see a few of the pics from his first surgery. I will go into more later. Its hard right now.http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150784011063162.460271.719808161&type=3&l=4f22be1f88
