Surgery Day again...






Well here we go again. I must admit this is not something I ever feel prepared for. This time has really sucked. Ben had to stop all solids and go on clear liquids only for 24 hours. Upper and lower GI scopes and depending on how bad his malformed tooth actually is either a repair or removal.

I am sure in theory that sounds okay. With Ben's FPIES he cannot have ANY meat or we have a vomit to shock reaction. So no Chicken broth. No Jello (or anything else containing gelatin). So we were pretty limited in what we could give him. Water seemed to be the only thing he would take any of. He also had to stop his medications before surgery this time. That did not go well.

About an hour after arriving at the IWK his reflux was acting up and he was feeling pretty sick. He ended up throwing up twice before surgery. 

We have met with anesthesia, GI and dentistry and we are all ready to go...I think...
