2 days post op
I haven't gotten a chance to write about his surgery yet. So here is the "story" :)
Tuesday morning we got to the hospital around 7:30 to register. Did all that got up stairs, there was 3 other babies in the pre-op room. But one left right as soon as got there she was one of 6 cleft patients for Joganic that day! Then another baby came in for another doctor. Kaden played crawled around after all the cribs left. They got new infant toys in the room so it was more fun this time! He got tired at the end, after waiting for 3 hours who wouldn't! He fell asleep while we rocked in the rocking chair. Then everyone came into talk to me. I did VERY well and didnt cry until the anethesologist game to talk to me, then the nurse i cried then too. Kaden woke up when i gave him over to the nurse and cried for a few seconds.
I went to the waiting area and waited for my mom and Yasmine to get there. Then we went and got coffee, and something to eat. Then back up to waiting. I was talking to my mom about Kaden and then she got up this lady waiting also asked what my baby was in surgery for i told her cleft palate. She said her daughter was having a surgery related. She was born with a cleft lip & palate. She was 22. We chatted for a while. They see the other doctor that is in Kaden's PS's office. Shortly after 12 Joganic was done! Shorter than his lip repair! He said everything went well and it's all lined up wonderful he has a nice arch. Then it took forever (again) for the to call me back to recovery. The nurse came and got me, we got in recovery then she took me back out because the other nurses were trying to fix his IV in his hand. They had me go back and hold him while they tried, but ended up having to take it out :( poor baby. He had new no no's blue ones this time, but no strap! Good thing i had the other pair still with the strap. They called transportation and i got to carry him to Ped's. Heavy little man!
At first we were in our own room for a few hours. But then they needed that room for someone else. SO we got put in the room with the other two cleft palate babies! Which was nice since we all just been through the same thing we understood our babies pain. and our babies ended up being on the same scheduale that night! Which was awesome, didnt have to worry about someone waking someone up. Kaden didn't eat too much that night, he did take his tylenol very well though. He slept with me OF COURSE :). He did sleep in the crib two times though! We didnt have a bathroom in our room so we had to walk down the hall, which kind of sucked! Last time the toilet was right there oh well :) He slept pretty well around 2am he was running a fever of 102 but it went down after taking tylenol his FIRST fever ever! lol is that a milestone.
He started drinking in the morning a little only by syringe though. Which is fine at least he was drinking! Joganic took FOREVER to get up to see us so we didnt get out of the hospital until 5 pm! Talk about a waisted day in the hospital. Thank god i had extra pain meds from his last surgery. I held off on getting his new ones until the next day. No way did i want to walk into anywhere and have to wait! Although after we got home our apt comunity was having Mr. & Mrs Claus at a party so Yasmine wanted to go we walked down there, get Kaden out in fresh air for a while! He was good as usual didnt complain. He was looking and Santa so i was going to put him on his lap but he started crying so he just wanted to look at him. We went home and had dinner. Boy was that a mistake, Kaden mauled me trying to get my food! Everytime i eat he does that poor baby.
We went to town the next day and he was SO good, he is like the best baby ever he never gets cranky when we go shopping even if we are out ALL day. He rode in the car just fine, looked. Got him some new Pj's they are so cute!
Well that is it for now. I want to Thank everyone who has been there for us, all the prayer's and thoughts they are very very much appreciated.
