In the PICU

Updated 2:30 - Just wanted to do a real quick update. Surgery went great.  Dr. Fearon was very happy with what they were able to get with his skull.  They could tell space was really starting  to get tight around his brain and they were able to improve things up there for him greatly.  He's in the Pediatric ICU and mostly still sleeping everything off.  Swelling isn't too bad yet, but we know it'll be coming.  He had a little work done on the bridge of his nose to bring that forward a bit which will help protect his eyes and also make his forehead advancement less noticeable.  Most people might not notice, but I could see it right away.

One thing that's always hard to get used to is that our kiddos faces change after every surgery.  You sometimes never know what they're going to end up looking like.  We're just happy he still has a little bit of a crooked nose and that same smirky smile will be back once the swelling goes away.  This one isn't even the big changer either.  Hopefully when he's about 8 or 9 he'll have the mid face advancement which will pull from his upper jaw to his eyelids forward.  That part of his face grows slower and they'll actually over correct it in the surgery to allow him to grow into his face.

We're still waiting for Dr. Fearon to swing back by again as we missed him earlier when the pharmacy tech was in verifying meds.

Thank you everyone for the thoughts and prayers during his surgery.  Please continue to lift Isaiah up during his recovery stage.  Rachel and I may actually take the night off since he'll be staying in the PICU and get one last night of good sleep tonight before the real fun begins once he's on the regular floor or we're on our way home.  We want to check with Dr. Fearon first, but he usually wants the parents to go get some rest which we'll probably do after meeting the night nurse.
