Jed has had issues with his tear ducts since he was born..basically, they don't drain and whenever he get sick, his eyes are just full of greenish discharge and crap...after talking with Dan, we both decided that it would be best to go ahead and operate now rather than later. This morning was surgery day. I had a hard time sleeping last night..something about knowing that your son is going to be intubated even for the smallest procedure or even with the best doctor.
Our morning started at 5:30am with Dan taking Isaac to daycare. Isaac surprisingly was already up and was ready for school. Then I had to wake up Jed and went down to surgical check-in. There is one thing cool about being a doctor's wife, son..boy, did we get the royal treatment. Dan's boss came out, his co-worker went over the surgery with me again (no, I am not a snotty doctors wife). It was nice to know that Jed was in good hands. The surgery was literally 40 minutes from the time he was taken from my arms to me seeing him waking up. He was one mad boy when he got up. He must of thrashed around for at least 10 min. before the nurse came over and gave him some juice. Dan then came by with his case and was able to see Jed post-op. I am very thankful that God was present throughout the procedure. Jed is now happy, well-fed, and playful as if his day wasn't full already. Here is the picture after he woke up from his nap--notice that gash on his face, he gave that to himself when the oxygen mask was still on him, he freaked out.
