Jaegans surgery

In my pj's

All drugged out and post surgery

On our way to Primary Children's, last picture of gooby eyes. Hurray!!

So we finally have a goob free baby. He had his surgery this morning. We went to Primary Children's about 9:15 and waited til about 10:15 to get called back to see the nurse to take his vitals and get him in his cute surgical PJ's. He looked so cute. Then they took us to another waiting room where the Dr and anaesthesiologist came and talked to us. The nurse asked us if we thought Jae would be okay to go with the surgical nurse, I just laughed and said does he have a choice? She told us she would give him something to calm him down. The lady sitting next to us, laughed and said that it makes them act drunk. So they gave it to him and that was the first time I about cry ed. Jae is just so little to be getting " drugs". So about 10 minutes later he starts swaying and Ben and I were laughing and he looks up at us, and gives a totally loopy smile and is drooling. So we start laughing even more and I'm kind of crying because it was kind of sad. So he got pretty sleepy so when the time came to hand him over, he was fine with it. The procedure only lasted about 30 minutes and they did have to use the balloon to stretch his tear ducts open. Eventually they called Ben back and they left me waiting until they moved him to a bigger recovery room. When I made it back there he was still sleepy and hooked up the all the machines. I went right into mommy mode and took him and rocked him, made him as comfy as possible and was just concerned that he was in pain. He eventually woke up and we were able to take him home. I am very thankful for the knowledge that we have to do such procedures and to make such a annoying little thing go away, but I am even more thankful that we were only there for that. There was more than a couple of parents waiting in the waiting room because there child was having chemo or was there for surgery because their child had cancer. Many of the parents seemed to know their was around and I'm sure they had done it before. I'm thankful we weren't there for a more serious reason.

Thanks to Adam and Jami for letting Boston spend the night so we could be with Jae.
