Surgery Went Well

We had to be there at 6:50 this morning for Drew's procedure at 7:50. He was so good this morning and everyone was amazed at how happy he was considering he hadn't had anything to eat or drink since 8:30 last night. He went right to the nurse when she came to take him away and didn't cry at all that we could hear. Ten minutes later the doctor came to talk to us telling what he had found. We were shocked when he walked in saying it was over...it was ten minutes before it was even supposed to have started.

He removed three blockages meaning that it would have never opened on its own. He said that we won't know for a month whether it's going to close back up or stay open for good. The doctor reported that Drew did awesome and didn't have any problems taking the mask and being put under. Ten minutes after that the nurse came walking in with him. When they put us in the room to wait we were told that we would probably hear him crying when he woke up because he'd be feeling strange from the anesthesia and wouldn't know where he was. We never heard a peep from down the hall and when she gave him to us he was smiling and there were no signs of tears. He's such a good boy!!!

He's doing good now. He was a little cranky when we got home at 8:30 because he'd been up since 6 and hadn't had more than a few drinks of water. He wasn't supposed to get a bottle or any food until 10:30 but we gave it a little earlier and sent him off for a nap because he was exhausted!!! This afternoon he's been up and playing and getting back to his old self. Hopefully the rest of the day goes good and he's back to normal tomorrow but without the icky eye!! :)

Thanks for all the prayers!!!!!
