Denton's Surgery

Today was Denton's hernia surgery. Doug and I had to have him in Chapel Hill by 6:30 so we left around 4 am. Which of course means that I only got about 2 hours of sleep thanks to my beloved son's unpredictable sleeping habits. After checking in at the Children's Hospital the nurse came to prep him. They took him back about 7:30 and to my surprise I did pretty well. I think it was because he wasn't crying or screaming. That would have made it much harder. Doug and I went downstairs and grabbed some breakfast to make the time pass quicker. He got out of surgery about 9am and went to recovery. Then the nurse came and got me (only one of us could go back there) and took me back to see him. Of course he was starving, having not eaten since 1:30 and crying very groggily. It took him a while to come around but he's doing very well and hopefully not having much pain thanks to some liquid Tylenol. We have a follow up visit in two weeks to make sure everything is healing correctly. Thank you for your prayers and thoughts!
