We're thinking about 5 hours, although they'll tell us for sure tomorrow. The nice thing about a feeding tube is you can push his formula through til 2:30 AM, and clear liquids til 6:30 AM. That makes for a much less cranky child come surgery time. (Although that will probably make me the cranky one in the morning!)
We just got a call saying there was an opening at the Ronald McDonald house for us tomorrow. YAY! That saves us quite a bit of money in the long haul. Plus, there's always food which saves more money. We'll check in awhile after his surgery is over.
I think we've told most people about the surgery he's having, but I guess I just want to put out a little on w hat to expect. They'll hopefully be able to remove half or so of the mass, starting up by his eye. It's an extremely high risk area, with all of your facial nerves coming out of that area. Surgery is always risky, long surgery just that much more.
We just want to say thanks to everyone that has sent us prayers and well wishes. We really appreciate it more than you can understand. Not to mention the practical help.. it takes a lot of stress off of us.
Keep watching here (or on Facebook, that'll probably get little updates faster)...
