We got up before 4:00am this morning to drive to UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles for Caiden's surgery on his skull to make room for his growing brain.
He woke up with an eye infection, so the doctors decided they will take a closer look at his eye while he is in the operating room and call a specialist if needed. His eyes will be swollen shut after the surgery.
The operating room staff will remove his trach and insert a tube to put him to sleep. He will have several IV's in case of an emergency, all which will be inserted after he is asleep. The doctors explained that the tube method was much safer.
Surgery will be close to 5 hours.
Now we wait.
