Surgery Tomorrow

Lincoln's first (of a possible three) hypospadias repair surgery is scheduled for tomorrow am. Our check in time is 6:30am. I don't yet have an estimate for the length of the actual surgery, though. This will be outpatient, with Lincoln coming home in the afternoon or early evening. It just depends on how he is feeling afterwards. As long as he can breathe comfortably, keeping his sats up, and is able to keep some fluids down, he will be able to come home. For Linc's last surgery in December, we had to stay a little longer than the average same day surgery patient (about 1 hour post -op is normal, Lincoln needed about 5 hours), but overall Lincoln did well so we expect the same outcome here. Recovery at home is also expected to be very quick (a few days). So Lincoln should be feeling just fine for his birthday party on Sunday! We are excited to see everyone and to celebrate Lincoln's win against CDH!
