We met with the two surgeons who will be performing Wesley's surgery next Friday. Everything is ready to go. To replace Wesley's esophagus, the doctors will be using a 12 cm section of his middle colon (hence the necessity of the clean out). Wesley will have incisions around the top part of his neck, around the middle of his stomach toward his side, and down below his belly button. Hopefully the doctors will not have to move his g-tube (the tube on his belly through which he is fed), but they may to be able to position the stomach in the best possible position for the attachment.
-------
Wesley is expected to be in ICU for three to four days, then to a "regular" room. Once a scope is done to ensure Wes has no major leaks, we start oral feedings!!! A few days later we go home, so Wes is expected to be in the hospital for about 7-10 days total.

This is Doda. I don't know why I look so sad. (I was probably trying to hide my braces.) Usually I grin like crazy when I am around this happy little guy!!!
