I'm going to make this update short and
sweet.
Colby's first Spinraza injection went
well. Very well. His procedure was scheduled for 8:57AM and they
wheeled him into the OR at 9:03. The radiologist came out in no time
and said no problems and Colby's injection was done. He was able to
find an opening in Colby's spine easily, injected the Sprinraza and
bing, bang, boom, done. Colby stayed in the PACU (recovery) for 2
hours, and we headed home. Got back to Louisville around 3:15. I
can't express how damn glad I am to have this first Spinraza over
with and done!
I made sure Colby took it easy for a
couple of days. He stayed flat for 48 hours. I'm sure he was bored,
but that's just too darn bad. Mama's orders. I bought him “Kong:
Skull Island” so he watched that a couple of times. Overall he has
done very well. His heart rate was really low Tuesday. I assume that
was because of the anesthesia. We sat him up in his wheelchair
Wednesday, two times, one hour each. Thursday we increased it to 1
hour 15 minutes twice a day. Today he sat up 1.5 hours twice. It's
been 4.5 days since the procedure, so I'm assuming he's out of the
woods for any complications.
THANK YOU to everyone who stayed in
touched. The calls, texts are Facebook communications are much
appreciated. We are so loved. I realize that more and more as time
goes by. Fingers crossed for a successful injection #2.
