Hospital

So, we are home from the hospital. I am exhausted, but oh so very happy that everything went good. So our day has gone like this: We got up at about 5:30 and got ready and packed for the day, because we didnt know what to expect as far as long he would be there and what he would eat after the procedure. We wake Corbin up at 6:30 and give him some pedialite, because past midnight he couldnt have any food and past 7:00am he couldnt have any clear liquids either, so I was trying to fill him up with liquids right before the deadline. He didnt want much though, but anything was better than nothing. We get to Texas Children's at about 7:15. They check him in and then we get registered and everything. Then at about 8:45 we go to the holding room and sit there until 9:45 for the doctor and anesteshiaologist to come and tell us what was going to happen. They tell us that they will start with a gas and then insert an IV and then they were going to do a block, similar to an epidural, and that they surgery should last about an hour. Then they took him away and they was SOOO sad! I was in tears at that point. Clynt's mom, dad, and step-mom were all there. My parents we both in meetings and came as soon as they could. We got called back right at about an hour and were SO excited to see him! He was being given a bottle of pedialite when we got in but he had still not yet opened his eyes. It took a little while, and a couple of bottle later, then he opened his eyes. He fussed a little while and then he went back to sleep. Then the doctor finally came by and said the surgery went well but that there were a LOT of adhesions and it would take 2-3 months for the swelling to go down. Then they gave us the details on keeping it safe and they let us go. We slept a lot for a while and now is a wild child! Way more than he was even yesterday. Generally we have a very calm child, but this afternoon he is ALL over. He is happy as can be! What a blessing that is. I thought the next couple of days would be miserable but if all continues the same, it was well. Thank you to everyone who kept him in your prayers and thank you to the wonderful Texas Children's Hospital and also thank you to Doctor Milewitz for fixing our son's junk. Here is a picture of him playing in the waiting room in his very cute scrubs!!


Well, now, I will make this statement out loud, "If Clynt thinks something is wrong on Corbin, I will listen to him to begin with", if I had done this originally, we may not have been in this situation! But I didnt know.. :( Oh yea, Corbin was standing all by himself today at the hospital, he was having so much fun playing with all the new toys and he didnt know what he was doing while he was holding a big puzzle piece. It was so cute when he noticed and he sat right down! LOL!

Thank you Lord for everything you have blessed me and my family with! Today went smoother than I could have ever imagine and I know that was all in your will!

Well, like I said, my little man is wild right now, so I need to tend to him. Clynt has run to take all of our recycling to the recycle center, so we are on our own! WooHoo! JK!

Much Love!
