Ian's Surgery

Ian had his surgery today. We had to be in at 6:45 this morning. I was so much more nervous for his surgery than I was for mine!

The staff at the SurgiCenter is awesome, and he had one of my nurses, so that was nice. We got to go back to a Peds room, where they had a TV and DVD player and a rocking horse while we waited. Then they got us his gown and we got him already. Hazen got to carry him to the OR door, and then they gave him the gas to make him fall asleep before doing his IV and all of that.

He did well, the surgery went fine, and he didn't even cry when he woke up! The nurse said he was an "exceptional child". We just hung out in the kids' room for awhile and wached "Cars" while they made sure he could drink down some apple juice and that his blood pressure and temperature were fine.

We're home now and he is acting remarkably normal. He's definitely less active than usual, but he's already had a popsicle and a piece of pizza, and he even laid down on his belly for a little bit. This is one of those situations that seemed to be harder on mommy than baby. ;)
