So I finally downloaded pictures and I thought I'd share the cute pictures of my little boy after his surgery he had in April. No one should have surgery at 3 years old but poor little Monkey had to have his gallbladder removed due to his blood disorder called spherecytosis.
I had to stay in bed with him afterwards. He didn't want me to go anywhere. However, being pregnant made it so I had to use the bathroom quite often so luckily he was OK with Aunt Tiffany or Grandma holding his hand while I went.
He hadn't been aloud to eat for almost 48 hours. He was starving! He ate almost the whole plate of pancakes and the nurses were shocked he could eat so much.
They kept encouraging us to get him up and out of the room later in the afternoon after the surgery. So we headed out in the wagon first. He wasn't to happy about being moved and we made him walk a little bit in the room but he was glad to be out.
Granny and Great Popa joined us for our walk around the hall.
Later when Popa and Grandma came down we loaded him in the wagon and headed downstairs to where there were fish tanks and toys to play with. This is where we made him really walk around so he could learn that it wouldn't hurt to get up and move around.
These are his favorite toys in every doctors office we go to.
He could play with these forever I think.
Later that night it was time to get rest for all of us. We were heading home the next day and needed to get the extra rest. (FYI: I don't recommend having to share a hospital bed when pregnant. It's really uncomfortable!)
Isn't he just adorable! He looks so peaceful when he's sleeping.
I just want to say a quick thank you to everyone that was praying for us during this crazy time and everyone that offered and did help. It really was a crazy time for our family and all the support and help we got was much needed and very appreciated!
