Home

We are home. Are we ever glad to be home!!! I've been looking forward to this moment since we left at 5:15 this morning. We arrived around 6 am at the office . They prepped him and took him away at 7:15am. We went to the recovery room around 5:00pm... so it was a very long day for us. In a way it felt like 3 days but in another it felt like a couple hours. We were blessed to have some friends and family there at different times of the day, so Joel and I were never alone. There was always someone to talk with and distract us for a bit :)

When we went into recovery, B was just starting to wake up. He was obviously confused and irritated. He wasn't screaming or thrashing around like his last surgery so that was much better this time around. He just kept saying, "I wana get up" and I felt bad knowing he didn't quite understand why we weren't letting him go yet.

He had a couple popsicles and we changed his clothes to go home. He wasn't in the best mood but that's understandable. We left the surgery center around 6pm.

It was a long 12 hours and we are so glad it is over!

B has had more popsicles at home and a few ritz crackers. He is sleeping off and on. The most annoying part right now are the drains coming from his ear. We have an appt. on Thursday to have them removed. I can't wait for that!

We have to empty his drains when they fill up. We also have Tylenol with codeine and an anti-biotic to give him. We are laying low tomorrow and Thursday and hopefully he will be able to move around a bit soon.

And of course, yes, Monkey did get his ear fixed too :)

Waking up more and enjoying a popsicle

The cup protecting his new ear!

Giving his best smile! Sweet little boy!

At home, a little puffy and swollen.

CHEESE!
