Jack in his recovery outfit (chosen himself)My brave little guy underwent his first surgery on Tuesday, August 4th. He had to have a hydrocele, and we went up to Children's Primary Hospital to have it done. The surgery was supposed to begin at 10:45am, Jack not drinking or eating since midnight before. They ended up getting us in a little late, 1pm, but had so many fun toys and cars and movies there for Jack that he handled the waiting period really well. He also handled recovery very well. Only a few tears until mommy came to him when he woke up from anesthesia. Then he fell asleep so hard that it was hard to wake him to drink his apple juice he needed to get down before we left. The nurse let us go after 1/2 a cup (instead of a whole) and an hour of waiting.
My big boy had a fever on days 3 and 4 of recovery but is now fully up and running. Everything went great and we had a wonderful week off together.

Putting your kid in surgery is not fun at all. I'm glad that he is doing better now and recovered well.
