Surgery

This week like all other weeks was busy, except I had my own doctors appointment as well which made it kinda tricky. Thank goodness my husband's employer lets him make his own schedule because I can't be in two places at once. Clinic went well for James this week all counts are still good. He only had PT on Tuesday this week since he had surgery. He is getting so strong and can stand with very little support. Wednesday I had to check him in for surgery at 7:30am. His surgery wasn't scheduled till 9:30, thankfully they had toys and movies for him to use while he waited. His doctor ended up assisting in a surgery right before James' so we had to wait even longer. James didn't actually get taken back till 10:40. It took about an hour for the surgery and then they wait about 15 minutes after before they let the parents go back. James doesn't like coming out of anesthesia, he always cries a lot and doesn't like the nurses to touch him. They had to put an IV in his hand and he hated it. He kept asking the nurse to take it off. They also switched his NG tube to his left nostril and he hated that. Thankfully we did not have to stay overnight. They originally told us we would but his doctor thought he was doing so well he didn't need to. He was very tired the rest of the day but refused to take a nap. He slept very well last night. He's in a little pain but James is so tough he doesn't ever tell you he hurts until it's a lot of pain. Today he won't go to PT so he can rest and relax. Although a 3 year old doesn't really want to hear that he needs to take it easy and not crawl around too much. Tomorrow we meet with the Radiation Oncologist to see what his plan would be for James. Over the weekend we will definitely have a lot to think and pray about.
