Patrick's Surgery

Patrick had his surgery on Thursday at 12:30. When we got to pre-op, Patrick was sleeping well. We had an hour until surgery and I was hoping he would cont. sleeping until the surgeon arrived. Well, it didn't last! We had to put him in a gown that looked like a dress that hit him at his knees. Then it was off to weigh him, get is temp., sat check and bp. My chunky monkey is 12lbs 8oz. After everything checked out fine, it was the waiting game. Patrick was not happy and we had thirty more min. until the Dr. arrived. We used a Binky to try to keep him settled, but he wasn't fooled. Once the Dr. arrived, Patrick was whisked away to the OR. With tears in my eyes,I gave him a kissed and to the waiting room I sat to worry! I tried to keep my mind occupied by texting and thumbing through a magazine. Next thing I know the Dr. was in the waiting room. The surgery was done and all had gone well! He recovered very quickly and was ready to eat soon after he awoke. He was pretty sleepy the rest of the afternoon, but during the night, he was wide awake and ready to stay awake. Glad the surgery is over and glad he is home with me!
