All clear for Thursday's surgeries

Reuben has the all clear for surgeries this Thursday:

* ENT - removal of granuloma in his ear, replacing ear tubes, full L&B scope to assess how his throat is healing from damage caused by the ventilator and re his laryngeal malatia and whether the vocal chords are moving (he's not able to vocalise which is worrying)

* Urology - 2nd stage descension

Please keep our son in your thoughts and prayers. We're feeling anxious.

Our thoughts and prayers will be with you all. We will never get used to handing our babies over for surgery, will we, Catherine? - no matter the procedure or how many times we've been down that road before.

My wish and hope for you is that you'll feel a little bit of extra peace and comfort knowing that friends are thinking and praying for Reuben, you and Jason and the doctors. Let us help you carry that burden of worry, friend!

Hugs and kisses to Sweet Reu. Take care of you, too.

Hi> I am new to your blog. I arrived here after searching google for bleeding with ear tube surgery. My son had ear tube surgery and a bunch of urology surgeries on Tuesday.

We are also familiar with laryngomalacia and the g-tube nissen.

I have enjoyed looking around at all your photos and other recent posts. I just looked up CHARGE syndrome. My son has another syndrome, but this is the first time I had heard of CHARGE.

I hope the surgeries went quite well.
