Surgery seven is now behind us and we forge on with our brave hero, Tristan. The surgery was successful and had no hiccups. The surgeon was able to get quite a stretch on Tristan this time…in fact he is about 3/4 of an inch taller. He definitely felt this surgery more, as he has been a little more prone to rest on the couch than normal for him.
Our trip home was smooth, well except for that six hour delay at the airport with three kids. We now have to stay “high and dry” for the next few weeks as Tristan can’t go in the shower for a week, can’t go in the tub for two weeks, can’t go in the pool for three weeks and can’t go in a lake/river/pond for six weeks!
We are ever grateful for all the thoughts and prayers that you all give, and forever thankful to Our Lord and Savior for walking with us every step of the way. We have so much to be thankful for and hope that Tristan’s journey is a faith boost for all you. Join us in December for surgery #8.
God Bless,
The West Family
Tristan is one brave little boy. And your love as a family probably gives him the strength to go on after each of these surgeries. I hope he is able to enjoy the summer a little bit with the restrictions. - Karen
