Jonathans Big Day

Jonathan had his hypospadias repair (www.pennhealth.com/health_info/surgery/hypospadiasrepair_4.html) today, up at Primary Children. It was a big day for Jonathan, Mom and Dad! Dave gave Jonathan a blessing with the help of Papa last night. This morning I feed him at 4:45 am, then you could have water or dilute till 7:45. But he didn't want it. We checked in at 9:15, they got vitals and quick history and assessed Jonathan. Then we went to the pre-op area and waited for awhile. Jonathan did very well. They didn't bring him back till 11:30 am. We walked down this hall to the surgery area and then gave him to the anthologist. I then got a little teary eyed. Then we went and got lunch and waited in the parent watching room. The procedure was suppost to take about 3 hours. But they didn't have to do part what they thought they might. Dr Snow came and talked to us and he said that everything went well. They soon called us in the PACU, and only one parent could be there at time, so Dave said that I could. So I went back, and he was drinking some sugar water. So I held him and they took some vitals (he hated the blood pressure being taken). Then he was stable. So we took him back to holding. And he did well, very sleepy. I finally feed him and they gave him some pain meds, took out his IV and then we went home. We picked up some meds. He is doing very well, he cries out here and there and wants to be held- but he is doing great for everything that has happened!
