Brady's Good

Brady's surgery went great, well as great as surgery is. We got there at 6:30 with an unfed baby. He was being so good. The only crying was when I went to put him in his car seat but I gave him the pacifier and he was good. Then we got there and while we were checking in he was flirting with the check-in lady. He's so cute. Then we had to wait and Brady did fairly well but he got tired of doing nothing and really wanted to eat so we played and I made noises with my mouth and got his belly and he forgot he was mad.
Then they called us back. Mommy trying to fight tears, walks back holding Brady and they tell us what room to go to and on the bed as I walk in is a tiny tiny yellow gown. Bring on the tears. I couldn't help it, it made me so sad to see that. We sat and I had to sign yet more paper work and then they told me to get him dressed, more like undressed. I had to take him out of his pj's and put him in the surgery gown. :( so very sad. Brady didn't mind. So while I was getting my son into the gown, in walks the anesthesiologist telling me the possible problems with the caudal block. UGH, more tears.
They then take Brady to get his temp and he's flirting with all the nurses, not even caring that I wasn't there. They gave him back to me, the Dr came to talk to me and then they took him again. This time they took him for good and I had to leave.
So I waited and waited and finally they were done. They took him at 7:20, they came out at 7:45 to say he was done and at 8:35 I got to talk to the Dr. Everything went great!!
So by 8:50 I got to go back and see him. He had a hard time wakeing up but when he did he let you know. They had me feed him and then he threw up on me all exercist like.
Finally around 11:15 we got to go home. What a LONG LONG morning. We went to get his Rx then got home and ate. Then we took a nap. We laid down together around 2 and didn't wake up until 4:45.
