Caleb's surgery to deal with some urological problems took place yesterday. We had to check in to the Surgery Center at 8:45 for a 10 AM surgery. Once again, he was a real trooper! He woke up and realized the pain down there, but was easily comforted through snuggling and rocking. He received great care at the Sioux Falls Surgical Center and a good friend of ours was our nurse once we got into recovery, so that was really great for all of us! Of course, Brett knows many of the people there from working there, so he is quite comfortable anyway. Once Caleb was able to pee, we were free to have the IV removed and check out. We left the hospital at about 2:30 in the afternoon. Caleb went home, Brett gave him some ibuprofen, and he went sown until about 6:30. He woke up, the anesthetic was worn off and he was himself again already. He seems to feel the pain more than with the palate surgery, but seems to be doing well, as long as the sore area isn't touched or bumped.
He woke up this morning and was ready to go! He still has tenderness, but has no restrictions other than no swimming for 2 weeks! Just time for the warm weather to come!
His next palate surgery will be scheduled in September or October. We will keep everyone updated.
