C had his surgery today.

(Thanks, Hope, for briefly updating earlier for me when I didn't have two hands readily available to type.)

Everything went well today.  They took him back for surgery at 8:40am.  The doctor finished the diagnostic laparoscopy and came to talk to me about what he found and what he was going to do surgically at 9:35am.  At 10:35am he came back to say that he was finished and that everything went well.  They wheeled him to the PACU at 10:45am and he was in my arms at 10:58am.

He had a hernia and that opening is the route his testicle took.  So the doctor repaired the hernia and moved the testicle over to the other side.  He has 3 incisions: one on the belly button, one in the pelvic region, and one on his scrotum.  He was prescribed Tylenol with Codeine for pain (he's had one dose) and he was given a shot after surgery.

He's nursing well and is very cuddly.  He's not sitting up, because the "pelvic" incision is pretty much right at the hinge, so it hurts to sit (of course I'm just assuming).

I'm so glad it's all over and done with.

(Now what with this drama while I was gone?!)
