Watching cartoons just before surgery....
Trent's surgery went amazingly well. The Dr. said everything looked perfect and went as planned. After surgery, Trent woke up and ate a popsicle, drank Sprite, and began talking with us. He even joked a little!
We took him to Kmart to get a prize and he chose a game for his Leapster. He also liked some flipflops too, so we bought them. We went to eat at Western Sizzlin and he had two bowls of icecream, one strawberry and one vanilla. He didn't want any jello - said he didn't like jello. Uh-oh. He should be fine though. We bought plenty of icecream.
We are home now and he is resting in his bed. Please continue to remember him as he recovers - he isn't taking to the pain medication too kindly. He is having some side effects. Hopefully it will be temporary. If it continues, the Dr. said to just give him Tylenol for pain.
The nurse told us several times how cute Trent is - she said he's a "pretty" boy. It's funny, but he is. I know "pretty" isn't exactly a word to describe a boy, but it fits. She said he has the cutest, most perfect little lips. She was amazed that he never cried. He never cried before or after surgery. She gave him a ride in her big red wagon when it was time to go home. He enjoyed it.
We are thankful to be home now and resting. This little fella is gonna be just fine!
This is in recovery...
