Surgery

My Josh had surgery this past Tuesday, and he was definitely a sight for sore eyes. My little guy was so teary eyed at the thought of going into surgery without one of us, so I got to go in, and be with him as they gassed him..(they in-abated him and put an IV in after they gas them with anesthesia). I was really anxious for it to be over to say the least. It took about 45 minutes, and then the real fun began! (can you sense my sarcasm?) He was so drugged that he had no idea I was even in the room..he kept screaming for me, and I was trying to soothe him telling him I was right there, and he wasn't comprehending anything..my poor, poor little guy. Throughout the night he was throwing up, and our biggest concern was keeping him hydrated. I actually am glad we had to stay the night in the hospital because I would of been concerned every time if throwing up was a normal side-effect or not. Anyway, we got to come home the next day, and it happened to be David's B-day as well, so we had a culmination of events happening in one week. We are on a soft diet for him for 2 weeks, and drugs every fours hours for 4 days and then longer stretches in-between after that. Oh! and I almost forgot to mention the next day (Thursday) Hailey left for a one month long road trip with the in-laws from one side of the states to the next! This week is definitely one for the books!

Poor little Joshy. I'm so glad that's all over with! I'm super stoked to see Hailey and David soon, but it's bittersweet that I won't be seeing the rest of your family and you. :(

I am glad that he is feeling better... just think in the long run it will all be better... hopefully it will help with the ear aches and sinus infections! Sleep Brandi!

What was the surgery for? Poor little Josh. Brandi you are seriously a super mom. I can't believe how much you go through with four kids. I hope I can have the energy you have for this little one. Thank you for all of your comments.
