Pierce got to spend the day at Primary Children's yesterday getting his long awaited surgery. I was SO impressed with how efficient, kind and organized everyone was up there. Anyway, we got to put him in these adorable hospital clothes before we met with the doctor and the anesthesiologist. Pierce just looked so stinkin' cute I had to take some pictures. He was totally not bothered by the whole process of prepping for surgery. He even tolerated not eating for 4 hours really well. ( I was prepared for DISASTER to occur on this point as he does not like to wait for his food)
Waiting for him to come out of the O.R. was not as stressful as I imagined it would be either. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised with how calm and controlled this whole process went. When I got to go see him in the PACU, the nurse told me that he had been super feisty upon coming out of anesthesia. Now this I wish I could have seen! Pierce is not the feistiest of people, he's pretty laid back in general, unless you get between him and his next bite of food.
He only had to stay in recovery an hour and did really good waking up and drinking a bottle of juice for them. We took him home and he really has done well. He had to take Lortab yesterday and last night, but today..........(keeping my fingers crossed)...........he has only needed a little Ibuprofen.
I am SO glad this whole thing is over and I am SO glad that he only needs to have one surgery. I have been EXTREMELY blessed to have 4 very healthy children and I hope that we are blessed once again with another healthy one.
Love you so much Pierce! You are our sunshine!!!
