Alex

UPDATE:
Alex is home and doing well. He is sore but has good pain meds and has been napping for most of the day. The Dr. said that the surgery went well and his breathing was good. He was very loopy for awhile. They did go ahead and use conscious sedation, the anesthesia doc thought it was better than putting a tube down his throat and irritating his airway. The dentist was the one that wanted to go with the general but the anesthesia doc felt that the other way was best. He was very loopy when I went into the recovery room to get him, he had a hard time walking. He should be doing a lot better tomorrow.


Alex went back for surgery about 7:45am. They decided to do general anesthesia rather than conscious sedation so they can protect his airway easier. He should be out of surgery in one hour then after he is in recovery for about another hour I can go back and see him. I'll update asap.
