Hi le,

I'm glad everything went well for this last surgery for Coby! Just a

few more days and hopefully you will be on your way back to normal.

Take care.

le,

I just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you. I remember after

Jonah's surgery how painful the spasms were for him. I know that you have

been through this before, but remember to hang in there because it will be

over soon. Did they give you anything for the his pain. We had something

to give Jonah when it got real bad. All the best.

Thanks and everyone else for your thoughts and well wishes.

This is Coby's 4th surgery like this, but this is the first time that

they have used this type of tube, so it's the first that we have ever

dealt with this much pain.

Coby is on Tylenol with codeine and Motrin for pain, Cephalexin and

antibiotic, Oxybutynin for the bladder spasms, epam (valium) to

relax him, Miralax because the oxybutynin and the codeine cause

constipation, and then his normal meds, Risperdal and gh.

Luckily he gets the tube taken out Monday afternoon. Unfortunately,

he has his very first school pics takes that morning. So he will

still be on all the drugs for his pictures. He'll have lovely

pupils. Hehehe! These are retakes so it's now or never.
