Well....we made it through Mason's surgery. He was such a trooper. Since Mason doesn't get up till around 7:30ish we had to start the day off by waking our sleeping boy. Then we headed off to the hospital. I was so nervous and anxious to get the surgery overwith. Mason was a ball full of energy while we talked to the docs and prepared for surgery. Bless his little heart...he did not know what was coming his way. FLASHBACK: His anesthesiologist was the same one who helped me when I had to head back to the hospital after having Mason when I had chemical meningitis. He was such a great doc...I was glad he was in good hands. One of the hardest parts was watching the docs take my lil boy away to the surgery room....he just looked at us LIKE why are they taking me away from my parents??? I stayed strong and only a few tears were let loose. Then we were off to WAIT!! Hard to do and felt like an eternity, but was only 30 min. long and the total surgery took 11 minutes. But the most heartbreaking part of the whole surgery was walking back after Mason was out of surgery and waking up from the anesthesia. He was crying...he did not know where he was...he was all swolen....and he just did not look like himself. I grabbed him and rocked him in the chair until we were discharged. I felt awful for him...I wish I could have taken his place in the room. When were released they gave us precautions and symptoms to watch for in the next 24 hrs. They said he will probably be clingy, fussy, nauseous, tired etc....they also said to make sure he doesn't get a rash which could be an allergic reaction to the meds. Well we got home and Mason was HUNGRY!! It was 9:00 and he had not been able to eat ALL day before the surgery. Well he sure did eat a whole banana, juice (only clear fluids) cheerios and he would have eaten more, but I did not want his stomach to get upset. Anyways, he was tired after he ate so he was off for a nap. Well he woke up like nothing had even happened to him. He was ready to play, eat, and have a great time. So needless to say he bounced back pretty quickly!! However, the next day he started to get a rash but bennadryl took care of that. So that brings us to today...he is happy, no rash and ready for what the week ahead holds....MEETING HIS NEW FRIEND LANEY :)
