We finally made it back home. We were at the hospital all day today.
Connor had his hearing test (which was perfect, now I know he really CAN hear me!), then his port placement and Spinal. He did great! The nurses do a great job of easing his anxiety about surgery.
The port placement went really fast, only about 45 minutes, and another 30 for the spinal. However, the recovery from anesthesia took quite a long time. Connor just wanted to sleep. Just like yesterday, He was VERY cranky when he woke up. He's like a drunk sailor (minus the foul language) slurring his words, bossy, pointing his finger, and yelling.. it is quite interesting.
We will have a follow up on Thursday or Friday to find out the results of the Spinal, and the MRI from yesterday.
Tomorrow is our big day. We are taking Connor to see Star Wars In Concert with our friends tomorrow night. He is such a big Star Wars fan !
I wanted to thank everyone for all the kind comments they leave on this blog. Although I haven't responded to them all, I want you to know we spend the evenings checking them and they bring such smiles to our faces.
The best part of our day: Kicking off our shoes.
Connor says the best part of his day was: Getting his surgery so he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
You know you have been in the hospital too long when: You know which waiting room has the best creamer.
Star Wars in concert - Wow! Hope you all have a blast. Glad the surgeries went smoothly.
ReplyDeleteHi guys, I'm sooo happy Connor's surgery went well. I'm glad sunshine is there to go with Connor everywhere, I had "monk monk" to go to surgery and chemo with me.
