Mack was out of surgery around 12:30, she is still sleeping and has an oral trumpet and nasal trumpet in place. Dr. Strychowski said she did really well and the only concern was Dr. Bax did his scope and noticed lot of inflammation and with the cleft repair we need to try to prevent the reflux because if she vomits it puts her at high risk for not only infection but also tearing and bleeding.
