D-man is out of surgery and Rimell said "Good call," on getting him in here and having the tube put in.  There was a lot of fluid and he said that had to be an uncomfortable pressure for the little dude.  He said we should see big improvement by the weekend.  Yeah!  We miss our Dallas and look forward to having him back to his happy self.  We are so thankful the surgeon came in today on his day off (and he was in his t-shirt and shorts) to help us, and especially Dallas.

Additionally, he had immune system labs drawn at the time of last Friday's surgery.  While we don't have official word from his primary pediatrician, the attending physican on staff here said that even though one of the four numbers came back below the normal range, since all of the others are normal, this should not have a significant impact on his immune system.  We had these labs done because Dallas is almost always sick and seems to pick up any and everything.  Guess that's just the way he is!
