know I know. It's been forever since I've blogged. It's been quite the (almost) 2 weeks since Riley's surgery. Between Riley recovering from surgery, both tony and I alternating caring for out little man while working full time, and both being exhausted I just have not had the energy to blog. I took 2 naps today....2. That is a world record for me.
I'm so pleased to inform everyone that our little guy is doing so great. I will post a pic taken today which is just 2 days shy of being 2 weeks post op and I am posting his post op daily pictures on facebook. The first 3 nights Riley would wake up and fuss of course. He had only 3 doses of tylenol with codeine and only 2 doses of regular Tylenol. Usually given at night time to help ease the pain so he could sleep better. I would say by day 3 or 4 he was almost back to himself. We are so pleased with his results. Riley had his first post op appointment yesterday. The plastic surgeon said he no longer needed his arm restraints which we are very happy about. He did not like them. The surgeon said he's very happy with the results and Riley seems to be healing well. The nose conformers are still in (helps hold the stitches in place) and will probably fall out in a few weeks. The surgeon thinks that he will not have to have any further lip repairs which is nice but still expects at least 3 more surgeries which we already knew about. His nether region is also healing well. Here is his new look almost 2 weeks post op:
