Everything went as planned and Greyson is now in recovery. The doctors were able to remove 80% of the tissue and lots of the skin including most of the red discoloration. For those of you wondering he came into surgery weighing 20 pounds and now weighs 19 pounds :) He lost very little blood so didn't need to have a transfusion. We will see him in a bit less than an hour when they take him to a regular hospital room (ya no ICU).
Our concerns now are how well we can manage his pain. The doctors said that with this large of resection to expect pain but we know they deal with this here all the time and will know what to do for him.
Another surgery will be required at a later date and other procedures to take care of the spots in his arm. We hope to only have to stay here a couple of nights but it all depends on how things progress. So far it's looking pretty good.
I hope to put another update up later today but we will see how things go. Thanks for all the thoughts, prayers, and well wishes.
