Jackson's Surgery

October 17th is turning out to be either a good thing or a bad thing. The good of it is it seems that it makes the people I love better and the bad thing about it is it's on my Birthday. 4 years ago to date my Dad had his prostate removed. This birthday Jackson has a Hernia repaired. Something has got to give! LOL Next year's birthday will be a happy one!
Here is Jackson and Jeff after we checked in and got settled in his room. I have never seen a hospital gown so small before. It had the whole in the back like the big ones. I wanted to take Jackson's diaper off and get a butt shot, but I controlled myself! LOL As you can see he wasn't very happy. The last meal he had was at 6 the night before and just some milk to tide him over. Yes, we cheated! They said no food or drinks after midnight, but he is still a baby.

They had lots of toys throughout the hallways. He found this car and a Thomas the train toy! He was pretty content for awhile.

The only smile I got that morning. Two pees in a pod! I love these two more then words could ever explain.

After his surgery. We just snuggled at the hospital and the whole night at home.

It's painful to see your child so helpless. He couldn't walk and he just wanted to be held.
The Doctor said he only had the one hernia. They went in through the belly with a scope and checked both sides, but just saw the one. The left side was large as they all suspected.
Today he is up and walking, just calmer then the normal Jackson.
He is doing fine and thanks for the support.
Thank you to A&E for the Truck! Jackson held it all night.

Jackson,

We're glad to hear you're doing well. You are one tough little guy. We love seeing you grow. The pictures from the fair are great and you look good in a hospital gown too!
