Robbie is out of surgery and doing good. He has a ROUGH day, but is trying to get some rest. Surgery went good with the exception of them poking him 14 times to try to get the IV in and weren't able so they had to give him a central line in his leg. For most babies that wouldn't be a big deal however with Robbie because of his bladder extrophy we don't feel it was a good decision. The IV is right in groin area and this is right where urine falls when he lays down. The entry point of a Central IV is to be a sterile area....sort of difficult to keep sterile when you constantly have urine dripping down on that area. We have STRONGLY recommended that they put a PIC line in his arm. However he will have to be put back to sleep to have that put in.....go figure. Needless to say mom is NOT happy about this and we are hopefully going to get it worked out. He also is in a quite a bit of pain. If you move his hand he wakes up and starts to cry. We are working on the the pain managment side of things right now and hoping we can play catch up and get his pain under control. I am sure sticking him 14 times with a needle and 2 incisions can't feel good.
Please continue to pray for his comfort and body fight off any infections! We will keep you guys updated with how he is progressing.
