When I woke up this morning at 5:30, it was to the sound of Sheri giving Connor a bath. After she put his lotion on, I held him and rocked him while Sheri finished getting ready. He is a sweet little baby and so calm, he didn't even cry when she gave him his medicine.
After I took my boys to school, I headed up there and they were just prepping him for surgery and sedating him. He came out of surgery 3 1/2 hours later, and the doctors all said that everything went as planned in the surgery.
When we walked into the NICU after he was out of surgery, Sheri and I both just started crying. I was trying to be strong for her, but I just couldn't help it.
He was just getting weaned off of the ventilator when I left to pick the boys up from school. Sheri was able to hold him not long afterwards and the doctor told them to expect anywhere from 5 - 10 days for his recovery from this surgery. Then the next one will have to be in about 2 months or when his skin starts to turn blue, indicating that he is not getting enough oxygen again.
