Post Surgery Bandage Change

I think that today has been the hardest yet for Myles. His bandage change after surgery was much harder than before surgery. Even with "enough pain meds to knock out 10 grown adults" it was very very painful for him. The donor sites (the areas where they removed unburned skin) were the most painful as his burn sites had lost most of the nerve endings when he was burnt. The doctors said that he looks fantastic. I was unable to stay in the room with my son for the whole process as I felt so helpless to his pain. I truly have to take the doctors word on him looking fantastic as I have never in my life seen anything so horrific. They say that things will look worse before they look better.
Myles will be going into surgery on Monday or Tuesday to have the hundreds of staples holding his graphs in place removed, they will also change his dressing at that time. HE WILL BE COMPLETELY SEDATED. Thank you Lord, I don't know if he or I could go through that again. After this last surgery he will start to heal and be on the long road to perform his 360 degree turns on his wakeboard. Will let you all know how the next surgery goes. I print out all postings and read them to him. When he heard that some people at his school cried, he asked me what happen to make them cry. He is truly amazing!!

Hey Myles!

I'm sure your probably wondering who this is but I'm your cousin Kaitlin in Virginia (I'm Aunt Kate's daughter) Well I was just going to tell you that you have been on my mind pretty much 24/7. Everynight I have been praying that everything is going to work out and you would be out of the hospital and Back to the Normal Little Myles Ganley (I know your not little but I'm not used to saying Myles without saying Uncle in front of it because of our uncle Myles haha) I also have told numerous of my friends about your condition and many of them are too praying for your quick recovery. I just hope you know that although most of the family from your father's side lives out here in the East Coast and many of us have never met with you, we ALL love you so much, I know it probably hurts most of us that we cannot be with you during this time. All I can say is thank-god for the internet that has made this possible.

So on another note, I hear you love Lucy! Kid let me tell you something, since I was little I have loved Lucy. If you ever come out here for a visit when your older or somehow I make it to the west coast, I'm bringing my favorite episodes and we're going to have a marathon. Man, isn't that weird? We've never met and so far we have 2 things in common, Family and an addiction to Lucy. Wow we we're made to be cousins. that's all I'm saying.

Well I think I've gone on enough for now. Your in my thoughts&prayers everyday. I will be reading the blogs your mother and brother are posting so I can check on how you are doing. You just keep that "Ganley Smile" That apparently all the cousins have inherited on your face because if there's one thing I know about this world is that Laughter can cure almost everything.

Love you "little" Myles,

Kaitlin

I'm so sorry that you were in so much pain. I really do wish that there was something that I could do. I'm glad that they're going to knock you out next time though. It is unbelievable how well you are recovering. The fact that you have hemophelia on top of this makes it even more of a miracle. And the best part is that you sound like you're still in high spirits. I love that about you!! Hope you're not getting sick of me because I comment on almost every post. Aaron and your mom are BRILLIANT for puting up this blog. I hate not knowing things. Feel better and get some nightmare-free sleep.

Love,
Your favorite sister,
Jenna

Hi, I'm from Myles' school. He is really nice. I'm someone who cried. I'm not good at pe and whenever something went wrong I got blamed and Myles always said I did a good job. Myles is really awsome and I've been giving him a lot of cards (or at least I try.) He is really cool.
