Aidan's Nissen at UCLA






Aidan had his Nissen Fundoplication on Friday. The surgery went well and Aidan has been in amazing hands here at UCLA. They pretty much stayed ahead of his pain on Friday and gave him a few doses of morphine. He slept most of the day and really didn't do much of anything. He slept well all night and has been back to his old silly self today. He was so pissed this morning when he still couldn't eat he cried and cried. Finally, the surgeon cleared him for clear liquids on his rounds this morning and he has been muich happier since. We spent a good chunk of the morning in the playroom. The staff keeps bringing him brand new toys in the box for him to play with which he is loving. The hardest part so far has been trying to keep Aidan from pulling out his IV line. He has pulled 2 out now and if he pulls this third one out they will probably just leave the line out and hope for the best with the fluid intake. Aidan is eating jello and popsicles and some broth and so far he is doing just fine with it. They will start some formula feeds tonight and depending on how that goes we are hoping to be home in the next day or two. Thanks to all those who are keeping us in your thoughts and prayers we can definitely feel the love.
