Jonas' surgery

Our little guy had to go in for surgery.  I fought it and tried everything to change it, but to no avail.  Jonas' man parts have had problems from day one.  We have met with the uroloigists a few days and they had us doing things that didn't seem to help.  Jonas has now had three circumcisions and hopefully this was the last. 

I was very concerned about him the night before.  With surgery you are not able to eat after midnight, this guy is still up every 3 hours, usually 2-3 times a night to nurse.  The nurse called the day before and said he could nurse until 2 am and he actually did really well.  He nursed at 1:50, and slept until we left at 5:40 in the morning to be to the hosptial at 6.

I thought I would be a wreck with them taking my baby, maybe I was too tired, but I was just fine.  We got there at 6, changed him in a gown, signed papers, and waited for the doctor.  He's such a happy guy, he went with the nurse and we didn't see him for 2 hours, until they were done.  He woke up and was disoriented, he wanted to nurse and cuddle.  There was a screaming 2 year old that wasn't coming out of anesthesia well, and so every once in a while that would stir up Jonas, but other than that he was just confused as to what happened.

His IV

Jonas had a hard recovery.  He was black and blue and purple from his belly to his thighs.  He had to take an antibiotic and hates medicine.  He wouldn't nurse the first day which made it so that he didn't wet his diaper the first day.  He was cut in 2 places and has stitches, and he wouldn't let me put him down for three days, though I couldn't touch him or put any pressure on anything but his belly.  We had to change his diaper religiously because they didn't want an infection. He was in a lot of pain and needed pain meds for a while.  I think he is finally back to normal and thankfully doesn't remember any of it.
Thanks mom for watching the girls and thanks for the awesome dinners from my friends!  We are truly blessed, not only that everything went well, but for the help of loved ones!
