Thanks so much for praying for Benjamin today. His surgery was scheduled for 1:30 and by 2:30 a nurse was out in the waiting room telling us they were already finishing up. It was really the 'best case scenario' of the possibilities the surgeon described...He told me he wasn't sure if he was looking at one hour or if it would be several, just because he couldn't know what he was dealing with until he got in there. Thankfully it was much less complicated than it could have been and Benjamin is comfortable and already drinking. I asked before the surgery if I could possibly take him home tonight if he was doing well....and the doctor said, "I think that sounds very ambitious, but you could probably go tomorrow." Well... with his blessing, we're planning on leaving in about an hour. One more dose of IV pain medicine before they pull that...then a stop at the pharmacy on the way home to get some pain medicine for home if we need it. But he's looking good. We're so thankful! Who would have guessed we'd be back in our own bed/crib tonight?
Again thanks for your prayers, and keep them coming as Benjamin recovers.
Love,
Janelle
