Jack's day

Jack did extremely well today. He was VERY cranky before the surgery because he was hungry and tired. Jack and I had to be at the hospital at 6:30 for an 8:30 surgery. He was good for the first hour but he cried off and on for the second hour. His normal schedule is to eat around 5:30/6:30 and then go back to sleep until around 8 so he didn't get to eat and he refused to close his eyes. The nurses took him to the OR around 8:15, they started surgery around 8:45 and I was back in recovery with him at 9:20. He was MAD when he woke up but promptly took 7 ounces of formula and was a happy boy. The anesthesiologist did a caudal block on him which is supposed to keep him numb for about 6 hours. It helps keep the need for narcotic pain meds low and usually Tylenol and Motrin controls their pain. Jack rested for about 45 more minutes and we were able to come home! Jack and I came home and took a 2 hour nap together and he has been a happy boy all day. He has been a little extra cuddly but that is fine with us. He has been standing and crawling with out any problems. Luke had a plastibell circumcision but they had to do a regular with Jack. It is a little more painful than the plasibell and it is more swollen and red. Hopefully Jack will be in the same good mood tomorrow and just need some Tylenol and Motrin. Thanks for the prayers. Will post a picture or two of Jack from my iphone in the next post.----R
