Shane's surgery

We are home from Shane's surgery. We got there right at 7:30 after dropping Brennan and Owen at Mimi's. We waited for about 10 minutes (Shane told me he was hungry) then went to pre-op. After getting his vitals done, he got the silly juice (versed) and started getting loopy. He seemed drunk. I couldn't totally understand what he was saying but he was feeling no pain!

They wheeled him back to the OR and he was fine with that. About 15 minutes later Dr Rizzi came to tell us he was done and that Shane did have fluid in both ears. When we went to meet up with him in post-op, the nurse was holding him, trying to console him. He was floppy and Ryan held him. He was crying inconsolably but not totally hysterical. His eyes were closed at first so he was able to fall to sleep for a few minutes but wake up again crying. The nurse gave him tylenol in case he was in pain but that came up a few minutes later. We walked him over to the window and then he was opening his eyes and saying he wanted to go home. The nurse was saying okay, let's get you dressed and you can go home. So we were in the car by 10! His surgery started at 9.

We got home and he vomited again. After sitting on the couch, Ryan went to get Brennan from school and I brought Shane into bed with me. He really started perking up at that point. He asked for lunch which he ate slowly. He drank some sips of apple juice and loved that because we never have that here. Then Ryan brought home McDonalds so he came down and ate some nuggets. He had cried out in pain a few times but the last time he cried it wasn't bad.  He's asleep now so we'll see how he is when he wakes!!!
