Surgery Day

Tevon finally got the surgery he has needed. I absolutely hate to see him have surgery but I also hate seeing him in pain every single day. I also have a secret hope that this fixes everything!

Tevon, my husband and I got to Kosair Hospital around 7:30 a.m. My parents and my husbands parents were there just a few minutes later. After a short wait, they got us registered and sent us to the 8th floor. He was called back almost as soon as we got there. Tevon and I went back to get him ready.

It took a while to get him ready with all the nurses and doctors and they never got to call back the rest of the family before they took him off at 9:10 a.m. for surgery.

I was a mess. I tried to hold it all together but inside I was crying like a baby. A few tears slipped out but for the most part i kept it in. Lol! I was very edgy for the next 3 hours. They made their first incision around 10 o'clock and were done by 11. He was in recovery for an hour and moved into his room by noon. I calmed down a bit after I was back with him. I don't like being away from Tevon when I know something serious is going on, even more so when it's serious with him.

He was awake by about 12:10 and ready to eat! Lol! I think the child ate for the next several hours straight. I have never seen anyone eat so much. after surgery. Lol! He ate like 16 graham crackers, a bowl of fruit loops and milk, ice cream, a happy meal, some cheese cake... Im probably missing something but you get the idea.

He watched tv and visited almost all day. He dozed off a few time but not much until 8:00 p.m. He only slept for 2 hours then woke up in a little pain. After some reassurance, some pain meds and a little entertainment he went back to sleep at 11 and slept until 5:30 the next morning.
