We\u2019re very happy to report that Callie\u2019s surgery went well. She was breathing on her own not long after leaving the operating room.<\/p>\n
After going under anesthesia, Callie got dental X-rays for the first time so that the dentist could determine exactly what Callie needed. As it turned out she had one cavity filled and a total of 9 teeth pulled, including all 8 front teeth. Callie\u2019s jaw is very small, and her permanent teeth were trying to come in but couldn\u2019t because it was so crowded.<\/p>\n
The other extraction was in the back of her mouth. That tooth was so deformed that the dentist thinks something went wrong when it was developing.<\/p>\n
After the dentist finished, Callie had an uneventful extubation, and she didn\u2019t even need her Bi-pap. She has slept most of the afternoon and evening and remains in the pediatric intensive care unit so that her breathing can be closely monitored.<\/p>\n
The funniest part of the day happened just before surgery. Nurses and other health care professionals routinely confirm a patient\u2019s identity. So when the anesthesiologist asked Callie if she was \u201cCallie Golden,\u201d Callie shook her head and quickly said, \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
Our hope is that Callie can go home tomorrow. Thanks, as always, for the steady flow of prayers and well wishes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
