Last Wednesday Patrick was circumcised. He is doing pretty well, but still is pretty sore, and so has had some thorough practice screaming for long stretches of time. I am just praying that he doesn't find the airport or the plane an acceptable place to practice on Thursday!
For today, a quick photo story of his surgery day:
When we arrived we were informed that the surgeons were having a late-start day. However, they failed to inform the pre-op early enough to let the patients know. So, we had an EXTRA long time to roam the halls before our turn.
It all went well, and due to it being his normal nap time, he easily stayed knocked out for a good hour after getting out of surgery. He doesn't normally sleep in my arms, so I took advantage of the cuddle time.
When we got home it was VERY evident when the major meds wore off. It was like a light switch was turned on and he was inconsolable. My regular ergo carrier was not useful, because he would have been positioned in a way that would have hurt him more. So, we broke out a sling carrier that a friend had recently gifted me.
It was near-miraculous!
Love, Us.
