Bridger's Surgery


Well, we have survived yet another surgery at the mills house. Bridger went in to Primary Childrens an march 7th and had an inguinal hernia and hydrocele repaired and tubes placed in his ears. We spent a longer thatn normal recovery time at the hospital because he was extremely sensitive to the morphine they gave him for pain and it caused him to stop breathing.That brought us back to the good old days he spent in the NICU!!! Then we got him home and his incision opened...which eventually led to us bringing him back to Primary Childrens the following day to have it put back together. We thought we were in the clear and last tuesday he started on a high fever which led us to the ER at Mckay Dee where we spent six hours running tests and trying to bring his fever down when they decided to run an antibiotic in his IV and his fever finally broke two hours later. he is doing so well now at we only suffer from his lack of schedule and trying to put him back into a good sleeping routine...kids are so amazing and they can recover 10 times faster than we ever could. We are greatful for our blessings and pray that this is the last of the surgeries for Bridger!!!
