Surgery went well

It was as if Nicholas knew something was going to happen. He wasn't allowed to eat after 2:30 am, Mommy set her alarm at 2:00, Nick woke at 1:50. We set the alarm to get up at 5:50, Nick woke at 5:40 with a smile. We went to the Children's Hospital and he got to play with their toys before the doctor arrived. By this time he was very hungry since it was now 7am when we got our room. The nurses and doctor all explained everything to us one more time before carrying him away.

About 45 minutes later the procedure was complete, and we were able to leave about 2 hours later.

Yesterday and last night are kind of difficult, we can't lay him down on his back to change his clothes or diaper because the pain is too intense for him. So one of us has to hold him up the whole time. He woke up last night every three hours, just in time for his new dose of minor pain meds. The doctor estimated this will take about 6 weeks filling them up every week with them or on our own. Thanks for everyone's prayers and support!
