Surgery Update

Jacks surgery went very well. He was back for about an hour or so. It was very hard for me to let him go especially because this time he was wide awake and aware. He was just smiling away and had no clue what was about to take place. :( After surgery wasn't so grand, he had a reaction to the morphine they were giving him and he cried for about 7 hours. He was so swollen and could not even open his eyes. So after 7 very long hours they decided to take him off all narcotics and try just tylenol and motrin. Even though I was worried he might be in pain he did very well and we went home the next morning. He isn't sleeping well again and waking up about every 1-2 hours. Rarely he will sleep for about 3hours. I have just come to terms that this will probably happen with each surgery and then when I get him back to sleeping well it will be time for another surgery. :/ He also started a new thing that involves crying and throwing a huge fit in the carseat the ENTIRE time. He will arch his back and wiggle down so you can hardly get him strapped in. lol And trust me he doesn't ease up down the road. I'm hoping this is all due to surgery and will quit soon! I will try to post a picture soon. I've been really bad lately and honestly, I don't even know where my camera is.

Good news.... our next visit isn't for 4 months! whew! I wish we were done forever though. :(
