A Right Hydrocelectomy..

Charlie went into to the Mott's Children Hospital today for a Hyrocelectomy. If you want all the details on what that entails feel free to click the link. Seth and I were nervous because it was his first time getting a general anesthetic. We decided it was best not to tell him much but it was hard to see him so confused when it all went down. Right after we checked in Eddie stopped by to say hi to Charlie and see how we were doing. He wasn't assigned to our case but was friends with the anesthesiologist who was and said we were in good hands.


After we got all checked in they gave him some strong medication that made him really groggy and silly. When it was time for him to go back they brought out a little red wagon for him to ride back in (I would say it was really "cute" if it were not for the situation). Charlie looked really terrified but thankfully for the drugs he went back without a problem. After two really long hours they came and told us everything went great!

This is right after the surgery, before the morphine:(

This is after a morphine shot and a really long nap:)

Charlie with all his loot from Grandma Thacker, Thank You!!

It was nearly five when we got home so thanks to an awesome visiting teacher we sat down to eat dinner. Charlie exclaimed that he couldn't have dinner because he never ate breakfast(he wasn't aloud to eat anything this morning). He got cereal..
We are so grateful everything went so well!
