We arrived at Children's at 12:30, driving through a nice Colorado blizzard it took a little longer than expected. Just in time, however, to get Dylan into his tiny hospital gown.
Still practicing to roll over. Dylan will no doubt learn this trick before Cooper ;-)
The family anxiously awaiting. Dylan is more interested in his fingers.
Dylan finally figured out that all this attention meant that they were about to take him away from his Mom's arms.
Pre-surgery (nice abs):
A bit hard to see, but wanted to show all you medically-minded Friends of Dylan the inner workings. Here you can see the middle lobe above, and lower lobe which was removed. The doctor noted that it was visually evident that there was something wrong with the lower lobe (different color and texture). They are sending it to biopsy to confirm that it is indeed a CCAM, and to hopefully give us some comfort that 2 spots identified on the left lung are not of great concern. We will continue to monitor over the coming months, so Dylan will be very familiar with the CT Scan here at Children's.
Post-surgery, and drug induced:
A better look at the chest tube. This, among other things, caused some great discomfort last night. We've never heard Dylan scream so loud, and yet so soft as his little voice was hoarse from the breathing tube.
We are very pleased to report that he is back to his old self... smiling, trying to laugh, and keeping us all entertained.
He of course has been enjoying his naps!
Thanks again to everyone who sent positive thoughts, prayers, and other good energy Dylan's way over the past few days. We know it helped him, but more importantly, it helped Mom and Dad get through it a little easier. We'll continue to keep everyone posted and will post more pictures as we get home and settled.
