Again, I have to tell you all how much we love Dr. Shiels....he is so positive about how he can help Greyson and knowledgeable about Lymphatic Malformations (LM). He gave us his pager number and told us to make sure and keep track of it so that we can contact him in the future.
He came out a few minutes ago and told us all about what he did. He drained and treated 6 cysts that were sort of inter-connected so there are only 3 drain tubes. He also drained a few others to help Dr. Spaeth's surgery next week.
We talked a lot about the life cycle of LM and how to respond when they "flare up". He shared his positive outlook about what he can do to help get rid of what is there and how he can work with plastic surgery in the future.
He said that Greyson shouldn't be in any pain but that they want to keep him overnight to make sure he gets 3 doses of antibiotics before we leave. Greyson will be on antibiotics orally after that. We will come back Friday afternoon for the drains to be taken out.
Take care,
Brooke & Michael
