Thomas' Surgery

It all went so well. We arrived at 6:30am for all the prepping. He got to wear the most adorable little hospital gown I have ever seen and Momma got to wear a gown that was identical to the one I wore for my c-section. (It brought back memories.) They also gave him a very cute teddy bear which once we got home his sister pretty much claimed.

When it was his turn to go in, I carried him to the operating table and sang to him while they put him to sleep. I then want to the waiting room in tears. I was so scared. 20 minutes later the Doctor comes out and says all is fine and it went well. They decided not to take his adenoids as they were not too bad, so in a year or so he will likely get them out.

Then we were taken to the PACU where I was handed a sleeping baby. It was in my arms he woke up and the screaming began. It was terrible. The room has about 10 screaming babies in it. I called it the crying chamber. After about 20 minutes there they said we could go home. He was still have asleep and crying. Once we got outside he was fine and has been ever since.

He came home and ate a waffle and drank some milk. He had his usual nap and lunch. He truly has been a trooper.


The best news of all is he has been babbling all day. Mostly just Dada still but way more and we even got a vavava.


I am happy it is over with, very proud of my son, and very lucky to have Twinstuff.


Thanks so much!

 

So glad to hear that it all went well! Isn't it amazing how quickly they bounce back. After Meara's surgery on Friday we were in the backyard playing by the afternoon

 

Yay, for success and a babbling baby boy .

 

See it wasn't as bad as you thought. The waking was the worse part of it.

 

So glad that it went so well for you and your little man. He sounds like such a great little boy!

the waking was downright terrible but mostly because all the babies were feeding off of each other and screaming louder ans harder. We were the 9th family in the room and more were coming and coming. It was a circus!

 

So glad it went well!

 

Great that it went well!

 

Awww, he is so tough! So glad its over and you feel better!

 

Tammy, I am so glad it went well, and that his adenoids could stay put for awhile!

 

Glad to hear everything went well! Yay Thomas! :banana:

 

Phew, it is over! Glad all went well!

Yep, that social crying thing is amazing! Glad all was well when you were finally able to leave.

 

Glad it went so well!! You'll sleep well tonight I'm sure!

[SIZE=12pt]Tammy, so glad it all went well. Yeah for a babbling baby!!! [/SIZE]

 

Glad it went well, I hope you are able to get a restful night sleep as I am sure there was not much of it last night.

I still have the teddy bear one of my children received after their surgery over 4 years ago! I will probably keep it forever!!

Enjoy the babbling!

 

Tammy, I am glad he is ok. :hug99:

 

So glad that it is over and that it went well!

 

I am proud everything well for you and Thomas.

 

Tammy, I am so glad everything went well. I know you are so proud of how well he did. Take care.
