It was actually done 7 hrs ago. I'm just now bumping.
Remember my post the other day about how they changed the time of his surgery but wanted his last feeding to stay the same then I called back and they pushed his last feeding up to 4am vs 2am. It's a damn good thing!! They told me the other day they would hopefully take him by 10, be there at 8:30 the latest. We got there at 8:30...they didn't take him into surgery until 1pm!! The last time he had ate was 4am. I don't think I've even seen him so mad, and honestly who would blame him! He went 9 hrs without food. I was livid.
Surgery went quick though. He did well and he since has had a couple bottles and is on morphine for the pain. He has a pretty nasty incision, goes up his left side and onto his back a bit. He's staying overnight in the PICU and they put a cot in his room so that I can stay with him.
Gotta shut my phone off in the PICU so I'll join you all again tomorrow, even if I just mostly lurk, insert smiley
Glad it went well and I hope he recovers quickly! Get some rest.
i wish i could be joking but my dad is the music teacher at a church so he owuld be mad. we had sex, all the time how bad i know but we dont want to wait and he said GREAT OH KAY! and I was really feeling the wets? down there- too embarsed to say- but he acted like man.
It is so great to hear that he did so well. Poor little guy, I'm sure he was so hungry. Don't you wish you explain it to him so that he could understand why he couldn't eat? Thanks for the update, we've been thinking about him today.
Aww poor Andrew. That sucks they made him wait so long without food. That must have been terrible for you. Glad he pulled through well and is doing good in recovery. I hope the incision heals quickly.

Good grief! That is awful they made a baby wait that long without feeding. You have a tough little man, right there! I am so glad everything went ok with the surgery and speedy healing to little Andrew!
