kye's first day after surgery Aug 1 he was very swollen and they put him on a paralytic and heavy duty pain and sleep med's. The surgery lasted 12 hrs we left him at 7:40am as he strolled in his car to the OR and we couldn't see him til 8pm that night. it was a very long and tiring day for all that waited either at home or at the hospital (just Kevin and I) they took a graph from his left arm and also the vein and put it into his neck after they removed the scar tissue and then did a graph from his leg to cover up the arm. he had tubes from head to toe, including a breathing tube, feeding tube, in both nostrils to prevent scaring, little Doppler's in the neck by the new vein, 2tubes to catch extra blood, 2 iv's and things that go around the legs to prevent a blood clot. He'll be asleep for the next 6 days.
