Surgery Day!

July 29, 2010

Well, it's been a long day. We arrived at the hospital on time, did last minute paperwork and Trace was prepped for his surgery. He did OK with the IV, didn't care for the tape though. We were then taken to the room where he would go after surgery to wait until it was time for surgery. When they came to get him, we were allowed to go with him to OR waiting. There we met with the anesthesiologist who promptly gave him some happy juice as he was very very nervous. Maw Maw Jeanelle came in and visited with him for a few minutes before they took him back. I HATED watching them wheel him away...

Then the waiting began.....

Seems like forever.....

2 hrs later the surgeon comes out and says, "well, that is not what we thought it was.

" WHAT???

I ask for more details, but in true doctor fashion, he would not speculate.

He just said we would have the pathology by Tuesday.

And now we wait for him to come back from recovery.

We were soon called to go and meet Trace as he made his way from recovery back to the outpatient room. He was half sitting  up laughing and talking to the nurses. LOL. This little procedure didn't seem to bother him at all. No complaints of anything. My brave little boy. :)

Sisters were there waiting to spoil him of course.

Pics from the day.

 

Soon we were on our way home to hopefully rest. We get home and still no complaints of pain. I give him his pain meds anyway and he slept well the whole night.
