~Sorry so long for an Update~

    Scott came with the 3 older kids and brought JM and I home at about 7PM tonight...to say it was a long day and a half would be an understatment, but we are so glad to be home.
    They ended up starting JM's surgery an hour early which was such a blessing. They were done with the surgery before the original start time...but things didn't go as planned after that. JM had a really difficult time coming out of the anesthesia and eventually spent the night sedated in the PICU(pediatric intensive care unit). It was stressful to say the least. But thankfully this morning they were able to get him off the meds and more comfortable. This afternoon by 12:30 he had taken a bottle and we turned the corner. The surgeons nurse talked to me about 3:30 and said she would leave discharge orders and if I felt comfortable we could come home tonight or if not stay the night. Thankfully he really started acting like himself and we will be able to sleep in our own beds tonight.
    Thanks for all the prayers and support! We feel so Blessed. I must go get some sleep!
