Now we were getting close to the date of Ben's atresia repair revision, so we were in contact with Cheryl Medina to make sure we were doing everything well. We are pretty busy, and Cheryl is pretty busy also, so it's sometimes difficult for us to connect. These are the things we needed to confirm:
- When (what time) and where the surgery will take place
- Fasting after midnight before the surgery
- No aspirin or Ibuprofen in week before surgery
- Get written clearance from pediatrician on day (or two) before surgery
- Need pre-op visit with Dr. Roberson's office on afternoon before surgery
In the following week, he had a couple of episodes whereby I believe that cysts that developed in his ear canal popped, and they created a bit of puss and blood that dried up in his ear canal, once more alarming us. This time, I cleaned them up a bit (and they looked a lot better).
We visited Dr. Keene (Ben's pediatrican) on Tuesday, Novmeber 15, the day before leaving for Palo Alto, and he gave Ben clearance for the surgery. He said there was goop in his ear that he would leave since the ENTs could do a better job of removing it.
