Counting Our Blessings: Surgery is over

Whew, surgery is over! Yesterday was such a long day for all of us. The surgery was expected to last about 2 hours but ended up almost being 3 hours long, talk about a crazy momma in the waiting room! Thankfully, all went well and now Connor is on the road to recovery.

Since the recovery room, he has had a low grade fever and he kept that all night long (even with Tylenol given frequently). Thankfully it hasn't gotten very high but between that and his pain, he hasn't felt the greatest. He isn't allowed to eat anything for 24 hours or maybe longer. You would think that would be easy for Connor since he typically doesn't express hunger but after all this he was chewing on his paci like crazy. After receiving morphine last night and it not really doing much for him, he now has nubain. Nubain worked very well for him when he got his gtube, so I was glad he was able to get some rest once he received that.

Thanks everyone for all the thoughts and prayers, please continue to keep him in your prayers while he recovers :)
