Gavin's Surgery

Gavin had his 3rd surgery today. We had to get to the hospital at 5am and then they started at 7am. Gavin was in surgery for 4 hours, They were having problems getting the balloon out the top of his head once they remove the balloon they notice that his skull has flat from where the balloon was pushing pressure on his skull so they were unable to put the larger balloon into head. Instead they went ahead and remove the back part of his head as much as they could. He had 75% of blood loss during the surgery. When they removed the back part of his head the cancer cells were only 2 layers of skin deep which is great that means that it didnt spread deeper, so they went ahead and removed the skin about 3 layers deep just to make sure they removed all the bad cells. They were not able to remove all of it, he said that in about 6 months if his wounds are heal that then he will go back into surgery and have another balloon expander put in his head and then we will do the injections over again and grow more skin so that he can go in and finish removing the damage skin that he was unable to remove today. His head is wrapped very tight with wrap that he has to keep on until thursday they have it so tight because they dont want his skin to move or shift out of place his head is staple all the way around the back of his head to hold the skin in place. He is still very tried from the anestesia and will not eat or drink anything and have to fight him to take his pain meds. I just hope that my little man starts very better soon i hate that he has to go through so much pain i wish i could take his place.

Thank you to everyone for the phone calls, texts, visits and he loves his monkey maw maw deb.
