RSS Feed (xml)Little Monkey spent some time in the hospital last week. You see, when he was a babe he could not eat by mouth and was had a PEG tube placed in his stomach. It was removed when he was 18 months old but the hole in his stomach and his skin never closed. We opted to do fix this issue because the hole was leaking and bleeding all the time. And he would complain that his scar hurt.
We explained to him that he was going to take a nap and when he woke up that his tummy would be fixed. The anesthetists gave him Valium before they took him back to the OR. We just happened to video his progression as the medicine took affect. It's five minutes of entertainment just for you!
'Cause I'm nice like that!

While he was in recovery he kept trying to get out of bed. So the nurse had me sit on the bed so he wouldn't escape. Little Monkey continued to try to "escape" the entire visit. At one point in the middle of the night, I woke up to find him standing on the bed with his gown behind him and his arms stuck over his head. He apparently trying to undress but got stuck with the IV tubes. When he was asked what he was doing he said he wanted to get dressed and go to McDonald's.
That's my boy!
He couldn't eat until 24 hours after his surgery and when he woke up the next morning they gave him the best breakfast ever.
Popsicles!!
He was so hungry that he ate four of them!
Being with daddy was the ticket to keeping him calm.
It didn't take Little Monkey long to get back to playing and his normal sweet self. He should be a pro at this after all the surgeries he's had in his life.
Sorry for the really small pictures. Blogger won't let me upload pictures from my computer and when I use PhotoBucket , the pictures are tiny no matter what size I tell it to upload.

Such a sweet young man .... I so happy for your son and your family that things went well.
Aww!
It's hard to see the little ones go through something like this, even though it was all for the better. It seems like it all turned out okay! Hurray!
It was great you stopped by my site earlier today!
Gail and I are in Winston. I'm guessing we're close neighbors!
How sweet! I hope he is doing better now. I included your blog in my pay it forward awards post! http://www.ramblingsofastayathomemom.com/2010/10/awards-and-pay-it-forward.html
Bless his heart, I'm sure he's glad that's behind him! (I'm sure you are, too!)
Awww...poor baby. I hope he is recovering well. Best wishes,
Duni
Poor little guy, at least he wasn't in distress before going into the OR. Hope all is well now.
