Rykers surgery!!

So today was Ryker's surgery...We had to be there at 9am and we got all the paperwork done and then went back to pre-op where they had me put Ryker in a little gown and he just sat on the bed. The dr came and talked to us and then a male nurse came out and said he was going to wrap him up in a blanket and then take him back so I figured Ryker would get a little upset but he didnt even make a sound, he looked a little worried but didnt make a peep!! We went out to the waiting room where Chase and I sat on the edge of our chairs wondering when someone was going to come and get us! FINALLY what seemed like FOREVER but was only 30 minutes a nurse came and got us and put us in a room...Chase and I looked at eachother and sat down and then the dr came in and said everything went great and that he not only had a blockage in the duct that they had to puncture but there was also a shelf that was laying down (I had no clue there were shelves in your nose) so she had another dr step in (Im assuming it must have been an ear nose and throat dr...the dr that was doing the surgery is just an eye dr) and lift the shelf so it wasnt laying down and everything was open, so they would let us go back when the nurse came to get us in a few minutes. She came back and another nurse was holding him and he was SOOO UPSET!!! It made me SO SAD...he NEVER cries and we sat there for about 45 minutes with him crying and then they gave him some tylenol with codine and we left and after about 15 minutes more of crying he went to sleep...So after an hour total of crying and getting some meds he slept from 11-2 and when he woke up I got him out of bed and went to sit on the couch with him and he wanted down :( I just wanted to cuddle him after all that and he was done...he wanted down and to go play with his toys so I got up and made him some oatmeal Which was the first thing he had eating since last night around 6 so he was pretty hungry and SOOO happy to eat. After getting a full tummy he got down and has been back to normal playing and runnin around like a mad man!! I am SOOOO glad to have it all done and over with and to move on now!! I just want to thank everyone that had him in your thoughts today that really means alot to our family!!

I'm glad everything went well. that really sucks that he didn't want to be cuddled after. That is the mama's job to cuddle them and make sure they are okay.

How sad! I'm glad he's doing good now. I bet that was scary as a mom!
