2nd Surgery- OVER!

Matt and Hudson playing before we head down to the surgery "holding" area. We had to be at the hospital at 6am, surgery was scheduled for 7am. Somehow we had to entertain a very hungry, cranky baby. A room full of toys was just the answer.
Hudson playing with his "ET toe" also known as the pulse-ox monitor. You can't tell in the picture but his toe was lite up bright red and he thought it was pretty interesting.
Hudson was a little out of it after his dosage of baby Valium. He was pretty entertaining.Baby boy in the recovery area after his 2 hour surgery. It was pretty sad. If you can believe it, this was later that evening. He was all smiles.A moment of sleep. We had a pretty rough night after surgery. He woke up every 45minutes to an hour screaming. The speech pathologist called them night terrors. He's still having them, 5 days later, but getting more manageable each night. I think this is the worst part of him having surgery. Surprisingly, the plastic surgeon and speech pathologist cleared us to go home Thursday afternoon. We were shocked, but more than willing to go. The hospital was not a comfortable stay by any means.
5 minutes into the car ride home- he was TIRED!
Finally home, resting with Dad. Thank goodness this one is over with!
