Bricen's surgery

Waking up at 5am to arrive at the hospital at 6am. Was taken downstairs around 645am and he went back for surgery at 744am.  He was such a champ! He drank 1 little sip of the "drunk juice" and that's it but it was enough to make him loopy so he didn't freak out when they took him away from me. We played with cars as we waited. The surgery didn't take long at all, he was back in my arms at 8am. He woke up in a panic, screaming, kicking, swinging, but eyes still shut. He wasn't sure how to respond to the sleepy meds but that only lasted around 30 minutes. He soon went into a comatose sleep mode LOL. We snuggled in the hospital bed together for a little over an hour til he woke up. He said first thing, "momma, I wanna eat eat!" LOL We were discharged and headed to dunkin donuts and starbucks. Yes he LOVED coffee. I got him a small caramel frappe and a blueberry cake donut. <3 Pure simplicity and it melted this momma's heart! We did the last of our shopping then headed for the hotel where we got hot cocoa and cereal for a snack. We played and watched tv then he napped for about 5 hours as I packed and did our laundry. Pizza was our YUMMY dinner (delivery) which he ate 4 BIG slices!!! Holy crap I was in shock! He was really hungry!! We snuggled more the night before, the day of and the night of his surgery than we have since he was a newbie! I was soaking it all up and cherishing each snuggle! His surgery went perfectly and the dr said he will make a great recovery!
