Surgery Day IV - Epilogue

Ethan was discharged from the hospital and came home late this afternoon. The reason he was discharged later in the day as opposed to earlier this morning was that they wanted to make sure he could eat and tolerate solid food and true to his personality - he decided to be a picky eater and not eat what they provided. Once the yogurt and mac & cheese arrived, then he decided it was time to eat.

This should be quite literally his last surgical procedure until at least age 7-8. At that time he may undergo jaw surgery (the osteogenesis distraction) or it may get pushed out further depending on how things are going.

Children's will call in about 10 days or so to see how he's doing. No post surgical follow up is required (unless we request one).
