My mom went in for surgery on Tuesday and did great. She now has a colostmy bag and no gallbladder! Mom was expected to have a colostmy bag 25 years ago, and even though she is not excited about it now it is better than when she was 33. Mom will be in the hospital until Friday or Saturday and then home to recover more. She is in some pain but it is getting better. Her main problem right now is that she gets nauseous and the meds they give her make her head hurt.
Eli's surgery went great today. The doctor was able to fix his hand without getting a skin graph. I guess all the baby fat comes in handy!! He came home and slept for about three hours, I loved this since we got up at 5:15 to get to the hospital on time and I needed a nap also!! Poor Brandon had to go in to work, so no nap for him.
Eli has been a bit cranky today but I think it is from frustration at not being able to do things with his hand in a splint. I will be getting up at midnight to give him some more Tylenol, the doctor said if we can stay on top of the pain it will mean less of the strong meds.
Thank you for all your prayers!!
