Kayson Strong as an Eagle ~ surgery day 8 ~ angiogram

So, it was a bit of a rough night, not sure why, baby boy wasn't sleeping well but said he wasn't in pain but kept fussing so his daddy ended up getting in bed with him.  He rested better after that.  I wonder if he was nervous about his collar being off??? We arrived at the hospital, got all checked in, saw his nurse from he other angiogram, she recognized him and asked about baby girl.  :)  The anesthesiologist came in and spoke with us and said they were going to try different anesthesia, give extra fluids and nausea meds to try to keep us out of the ER this time!  I am so thankful that they listen to our concerns and work so hard to keep baby boy comfortable!  Then they took him back.  We went and got some lunch and when we returned to the waiting area, the doc came out and said he did great and there was NO pinching!!!!  BIG NEWS!!!!  Surgery was good and worked and oh, PTL, just praise!  Bc of the diff anesthesia, he woke sooner so they had us come back but he still had a few hours to lay still yet.  That was long, lol.  He rested for a bit, then complained of a headache, then he had to pee, he asked "how much was it?" after he peed in the urinal, lol!  Also asked, "Will I have to be still forever?!?"  Oh, this boy!  :)  Then he was bored, I tried to distract him by playing Disney music on his iPad.  He complained more about a headache, they ordered him some motrin but he's not supposed to have that right now bc it can hinder the healing/fusion of the bone so then they ordered him some oxy.  Then he asked, "What's squeezing me?" lol, it was the blood pressure cuff, you would think he would know this by now, lol!  He was feeling better and able to eat a popsicle and then he was able to be discharged.  We got to RMH and he was walking so much steadier and looking so much better than he did after the other angiogram!  He was hungry so we got a light snack then rested before dinner.  After dinner we did another movie in the family area.  Smurfs this time.  Then Glenn and baby boy rested in the room and prepared for bed while I went to the house family meeting.  They do one every monday and say its mandatory that at least one member from each family attend.  I almost hate attending them though bc the night manager speaks to us like we are all little children incapable of following the rules.  oh-well.  sigh.  When I returned to our room, baby boy wanted me to lay with him while he fell asleep and I ended up falling asleep too.  I'm so thankful he didn't throw up at all this time!  No ER visit, PTL!!!  No extra night in the hospital, we can head home tomorrow! Just so thankful!!!!
