claytons surgery is friday - I am scared

[Guest guest]

Hi all:

Clayton's surgery is scehduled for Friday - for a Nissen and g-tube placement.

I met with the anesthelsiologist today and I am starting to get really scared

and nervous. I am just worried that something will go wrong. The

anesthesiologist indicated that it is almost a definite that he will be in ICU

for a couple days following surgery for a couple of reasons: (1) he has been

off the apnea monitor for less than a year - and he had confirmed apnea and

bradycardias while on the monitor; (2) he has had bradys from ansthesia

before; (3) some of his neuro issues.

THey will laso be taking latex precautions like they did last time due to the

fact that clkayton seems to break out from being touched by latex. Dr.

(the GI) agrees with this.

I just wanted to ask all of you to pray for clayton and that things go well. I

am so nervous. I will have my lap top with me so I will try to post an update

when I can.

We will be at St. s Hospital for Children (main

number).

love,
