Successful operation (Oct. 8)
We’re happy to report that Lucas made it through surgery with flying colors. He got both the tracheostomy and g-tube in place, and is currently recovering back in his own hospital bed. The anesthesia will take a few hours to wear off and so he’s conked out for now, but it’s great to see his pretty face, free of tube and tape. Although it will take a few days to fully recover from the surgery, this already feels like a new chapter in Lucas’s life.
We also want to wish Lucas’s aunt Megan happy birthday today! When Lucas wakes us we’ll tell him about what good luck it is to have an aunt with a birthday on el Dia del Guerrillero Heroico.
From this...
...To this. Clean face for me!

What a cutie pie Lucas is without all of those tubes and tape. I’m thinking he looks a little like Burke also but who knows? Give him lots of love and TLC as he recovers from his surgery. So relieved that it was very successful. Give him a hug from me :)
Love, Kit
