He's out

He is out of surgery. It was the proximal catheter that had moved out of position. They replaced it and saw that the new one had good flow. The Doc is concerned about the Chiari though. He thinks that pressure is being put on the nerves at the base of the brainstem and that is what is causing the stridor....if that is the case then we will have another surgery this weekend to decompress. Basically remove a bone from his spine to give the brainstem some room. He doesn't want to do this since Thomas is so young, so we are going to watch him tomorrow to see if he can breath around the tube on his own and if he still has trouble on the inhale. That will determine if we need to do anything else. He is still sedated and we are in the ICU.
