Jace had surgery for his second hernia today. He did really well and only cried a bit when they took him from me. I was glad that they didn't intubate him this time because last time, I swear it took longer for his sore throat to heal than it did for his incision! He also came out of the anesthesia with some pain so they gave him some morphine which meant that they kept him an extra 30-45 minutes in recovery before they could bring him out to me. (That was not a pleasant experience! I could hear him crying, and knew that all he needed was his mommy!) Here is his before picture - so happy and capturing all the hearts of the nurses there!
After - with his favorite blue popsicles! I didn't have enough blue popsicles when we got home, so I called in reinforcements and my neighbor, Lacie, was at Maceys and brought more home for us. He only would eat the blue.
During his nap after we got him home, he had an allergic reaction to something and his face did this:
After he woke up, I gave him some Benedryl, stopped giving him the Tylenol with codene (which he had never had a problem with before) and graciously gave out blue popsicles like crazy, he got better. :) Don't mind his bonk on his head - jumping into bed and knocking his noggin on the outlet by his bed; or his black eye - jumping, then sliding down Thomas' dresser; It's just the life of this boy!

Poor Jace! I'm amazed he only cried a little bit. He's a brave little guy. And you're a brave mama. I'm sure it's not easy letting your babies have surgery!
