Well, Jonah actually had surgery! I never thought this day would come! As I mentioned, he's been sick so I had no idea if he would be able to go through with the surgery or not. Even driving up to the hospital Monday morning, Zach and I were still unsure if he was well enough. Jonah was such a trooper going into surgery. He had a hard time breathing when he was coming out of anesthesia, and we had to keep oxygen on him for the first little bit, and while he slept.
After Jonah started doing a little better, the nurse let us take him on a walk. That probably lasted about three minutes. You can tell by this picture that he was not enjoying himself. The doctor walked by, and decided Jonah needed some stronger pain medication. By the way, I don't know why every picture I have is of Jonah with no shirt on. That's the way he came out of surgery, and I guess when we did have a shirt on him, he would drool or spill ice cream all over it.
Primary Children's were so nice and gave Jonah a stuffed animal and a new blanket that's in all these pictures. He's not one to hold on to a teddy bear, but he must of needed a lot of comfort because he did not want to let this little lamb go!
We had to spend a night in the hospital and Jonah probably slept great on his pain meds compared to Zach and I. Lets just say, I would never recommend sleeping in a hospital bed, or chair. It was a really, really long night.
Here he is getting ready to go home!!!! YAY!
Jonah didn't have any nausea the whole hospital stay until we drove home. He started puking and coughing while we were on the freeway, and I had to dive in the back seat and take him out before he choked. Poor guy! Another side affect of the surgery, is stinky breath. WOW! That boy's breath is DEATH! Jonah keeps trying to cuddle up and kiss me, and I can't even handle it. It is OH SO BAD. Here is Jonah today, he spends most of his time on the couch, watching a movie. He gets upset if I don't make his bed the right way.
I know, he looks really out of it. Hang in there Jonah!
