Back to Surgery tomorrow

It's been a rough couple of days.  Matt started developing a bad cough on Sunday and has been going back and forth with a low fever.  I took him for surgery recheck yesterday and to take off the tape- ouch!! The surgeon feels like his face shouldn't be this swollen.  He would like to open his cheek to look for a bleed.  He also thought Matt needed a chest X-ray to rule out pneumonia.  X-ray came back clear for pneumonia, but he does have sometime viral/asthma going on.  I took him to the family doctor and she gave us nebulizer meds.  His cough seems to be getting better today and anesthia has cleared for another surgery on Wednesday.  Lymphatic malformations just seem to be tricky in their nature and don't always respond in a typical way.  

Matthew has otherwise been more playful and starting to get back a little of his hearty appetite.  He has been super cuddly and is usually attached to my side most of the day.  We have also been sleeping buddies this past week, I am so thankful for that extra twin bed in his room.   It doesn't seem to be lost on Matt to have a mama by his side ALL the time, he has been very peaceful.  Thankfully, we also have a new batch of Curious George from the library.  We should be back home after the surgery tomorrow.
