Just wanted to post that EM and I are home and glad to be here. His surgery went as expected. Nice not to have any real surprises this time! The surgery was scheduled to start at 9:15AM. It didn't really start till 9:55, but then it took just the hour that was expected. After 40 minutes in recovery they came to let me know we would be going to the short stay area. We had a nice private room for the 2 of us to spend the night. EM, is really a trooper when it comes to this...but he was really having quite a bit of pain yesterday. He didn't want to talk and he would try and take a popsicle or ice and after only a tiny amount that was enough. About 4PM yesterday I got him to get up and walk, he watched a movie, but still didn't really want to eat much. He did take some Chocolate Ice cream about 6PM. Then in the evening they gave him an extra dose of pain med and that seemed to help get things under control. They gave him pain med every 4 hours and by this morning he was asking for it! He didn't like the taste and fought us one time, but after we worked out the ice cream routine all went well!
He ate scrambled eggs for breakfast and our MD came around and said we could head home! He ate more for lunch and about 12:30 really started acting like himself. Non-stop questions for Grandpa and played several card games. He is napping now, so I hope he wakes up feeling like himself! I do get tired of hearing him talk non-stop...but yesterday when he was so still and would only shake his head yes and no...I did want to know what they had done with my son!!
It was good to get home to see JM and SJ...I will be glad to see MR when she gets home from school! We have been so lucky to have SF's parents here to help us out. We are so blessed by family and friends.
All for now!
