Little Ben has been such a trooper today. I scooped him out of bed at 5:30 this morning and we headed out the door for surgery to correct his umbilical hernia. He has had it since birth but they always thought it would disappear by the time he was 5. He was a little nervous but did great... the versed kicked in, and he got the heavy eyes and off they wheeled him into the OR.
He was NOT happy when he woke up...mom wasn't in the room and the anesthesia hadn't totally worn off. He fought the IV and the monitors and then finally settled down and was able to rest for a while before we went home. The highlights for Ben were the wheelchair ride, the stuffed animals they sent home with him and the popsicles. The nurses we had at St. V's were absolutely the best. He has been resting on the couch all day and been such a brave little guy. We've had a few rough moments tonight as he is pretty sore, and the wrong move can be very painful. Hoping he sleeps tonight and that tomorrow he starts to feel better. :-)
