Eli went into surgery today to fix his hernia. Primary Children’s hospital is seriously the best hospital.
All the doctors and nurses were the best!
Waiting for him to go in the was worst. Just the waiting and anticipation. We were also SO hungry. To keep Eli occupied they had oodles of toys to play with and cars to ride in.
His surgery was pushed back. So we kept walking to keep him busy.
And walking!
And then his surgery was pushed back again. He was supposed to go in at 10:30 am. It’s now 1:30pm. Eli took the waiting very well, even without food!
Walking and walking! Good thing I wore the most comfortable shoes!
Then it was time. They picked him up in a wagon and off they went.
His surgery was an easy fix and we weren’t expecting any complications. That was the only thing keeping us calm.
45 minutes later we were able to see him.
His surgery went well without any issues like we hoping and expecting.
They asked him if he wanted a Popsicle. And of Course he wanted the red one. This boy was starving! He ate 4 Popsicles.
This was his ride out of the hospital.
Onto the couch. He was only down for about a half hour and he was up running around. Literally running around. I would love to have that kind of resilience after my surgeries!
