Landen is going for surgery tomorrow

So it really has been a long time since our last update. Landen is doing well he has gained over 7lbs now and getting bigger and stronger all the time. We have been feeling the spring and are spending some time outside getting the yard and garden ready. Spring is around the corner and we LOVE IT! Both the boys love to be outside. Dad is came home the day before Thanksgiving and is doing great! He is back to work full time and made such an amazing
recovery. Other then that our only news is Landen will be going into surgery tomorrow to have granulation tissue removed for his g-tube, a tube taken out of his right ear and his tonsils out. The granulation tissue is extra scar tissue that has formed around his G-tube. Its irritating to Landen and it tends to bleed a lot. we had this removed back in October and had it all under control but when he pulled his tube out in January and we had to have the hole stretched and a new tube placed (something you who just follow the blog may have missed because I've not been keeping up) it irritated the tissue and the granulation tissue started to grow again.

We were already scheduled to have the granulation tissue removed from his G-tube and since I hate to have Landen sedated for just one thing I contacted his ENT. His ENT has wanted to do and exam and remove a tube under sedation for awhile now but I asked him to wait until we were going in for something else. We went to our pre-op with the ENT when he told us that he is really concerned that its time we finally take his tonsils out. We would have done it a year ago but we were concerned with how we would keep him hydrated and fed for the week recovery. We didn't want to spend a week in the hospital if he decided it was too painful to eat or drink. Before with Landen even if it was a minor illness the first thing he would do is stop eating. Since he has the G-tube now the ENT really thinks they should come out his tonsils are almost touching they are so big. We have everything ready to go and we expect to be in the hospital for at least 24 hours probably more. Sometimes Landen does quick recovery sometimes he just needs more time. We will be at Logan Regional for surgery. I've opted not to go to Primary Children's because I love our ENT and this will be Landen's third surgey there and 3rd hospital stay we know they do a good job. We have a wonderful ENT who always tells us he looks at Landen as a unique case and follows his lead rather then expecting him to act and recover like any of his other patients. Prayers and thoughts are appreciated a little worried about controlling Landen's pain levels I have been told this could be a painful recovery even though its a minor surgery. I don't know I never had mine removed.
