Day After Surgery

The doctors continue to say Liam is doing well and looking just how he needs to look. Basically, his whole body is puffed up like a balloon. He doesn't even look like the same little baby. They are told that the swelling should gradually go down today as his body absorbs the swelling through body functions, such as uran. By tonight they should be able to see some improvement there.

Liam's right temporal lobe was removed. He is sedated and has a feeding tube. He is in the PIC-U (Pediatrics Intensive Care Unit). They will probably take him out of there tomorrow as things continue to improve.

They said it is hard to see him in this condition and they look forward to seeing him improve, but things are going as well as expected, for which everyone is grateful!
