Removal of the ileostomy!!!

My Darling Baby!

Today you had your surgery to remove your ileostomy! We got to the hospital to around 8am. Got checked into pre-op and had to wait about an hour and a half for you to be taken back to the operating room! And while we waited - we walked for an hour and then about 20 minutes before you went back you fell asleep on Mommy. Then as soon as I put you down you woke up! Haha!

The nurses loved on you for a little before it was time for you to go to sleep. The liaison said that all the nurses thought you were adorable! (Of course you are!! But I am biased!)

The surgery last about 2.5 hours and recovery lasted another hour. Dr. A said you did great and that everything got connected together perfectly!

We had to give you a dose of morphine around 6pm because the anesthesia was wearing off.

Dr. A came by earlier and said that you will be sore for a few days. But now we wait for your tummy not to be gassy and hard and as soon as we are given the ok by Dr. A we will feed you again (I'm hoping he says ok tomorrow but first they need to take out the catheter before I am ok with moving you!)

I love you honey! I am glad that you are doing well and finally getting some sleep! I hope it lasts most of the night (as mommy is a bit tired from not getting a lot of sleep last night).

As always; you have my heart.
Mommy
