For those of you that knew about it...surgery went good yesterday. This was Bennett's 4th, this time was an umbilical hernia. Right before surgery Dr. Fiore (our surgeon who we just really love) asked if we had any last questions. We said no and he told us we were getting pretty good at this. Then said this wasn't really something to be good at. We completely agreed and I told him to stop finding things wrong with my baby. He assured me it wasn't his fault...
We had to be to the hospital at 6:15 yesterday morning. We're not sure why, maybe he sensed something was going on, but the night before Bennett wouldn't go to sleep until midnight. He was pretty delirious the next morning. This was us waiting in pre-op. We have had the same pre-op nurse for every single surgery. I remember her really well because Bennett's first surgery, when he was 4 days old, I wasn't handling everything very well, and she was so comforting and kind to us. Thanks heavens for nurses like her.
Coming out of anesthesia is always the hardest. Yesterday was no different. I hate seeing him so uncomfortable and in pain. Luckily it didn't last long and we were able to go home. We spent the day watching lots of movies. He was pretty sore the first half of the day and kept asking me to kiss his tummy ("tummy hurt, kiss it mommy").
I hate these surgeries and when Bennett's sick, but I sure do love how cuddly he gets.
This picture cracks me up. Bennett has the funniest little wave when we tell him to say hi to people. This is him saying hi to the camera.
He was up walking around and wanting to go outside last night and this morning. He isn't suppose to climb on anything for 2 weeks which is going to be a joke! But he has no pain killers in him this morning as of yet and is doing great. What a little trooper. I'm always amazed at how resilient he is.
