Can any of us really believe it was 4 weeks ago tonight that Scott arrived at Swedish? I know I sure can't. Scott gets to try 'chewable' solids tomorrow and he has been tolerating sitting up more to eat. About a week ago he couldn't be elevated to more than 20%, now he's been at about 40%. The doctors believe that once the flap goes back on, he'll do much better with elevation. Speaking of the flap, it was ordered at the beginning of last week and takes about 3 weeks to get in. I'm not sure what the time frame is after it gets here. Not sure if it will already fit or if they have to measure him still and then fit it. These are questions I'll try and find the answer to. We have been reassured that placing the flap is a realitively routine procedure and the doctors have tried to reassure Scott as well. He's been getting anxious about another surgery but the nurses and doctors have all told him this is minor compared to what he's been through. Hopefully he'll have the flap back on in the next week. The sooner the better.
