William had surgery on Monday, and I really wasn't looking forward to it! The poor kid has been through enough and I wasn't looking forward to him in pain.
We got to the hospital at 6:45 and had a lovely wait of 2+ hrs. William did good in the beg. but then began to get bored, hungry, and irritable. Melts downs occurred due to the word "NO" but we quickly diverted. It was a tad bit to long of a wait for a 2 yr old! He got some good old versed, but that didn't seem to phase him! He was being too nosy (hehe, mother after all!)
He went back shortly after 9 and was done at 9:45ish. We got to see around 10:30 and then we were let go around 11:15. He did better waking up this time and wanted his IV out as soon as he was alert enough! He took a while to drink/eat but he did so, after being home for a bit!
His pain has been great. (If I have to say anything good about his horrible reflux days-it is his awesome (or not so awesome) pain tolerance!) He really does well with pain. I gave him his prescription pain med twice and motrin since. He gets it about 1x a day now. He is playing and acting like himself-we're just watching him, as he is on some restrictions to make sure everything stays together and he doesn't injure himself :) He's not doing a very good job of remembering he just had surgery! Geesshhh why does he forget, he's 2! :) We got back in 2 weeks for a check up!
Overall he is doing well and things are going much better then expected! I'm so proud of my sweet boy!
