Niko's Surgery

Mommy, I am going to sleep on you - kay?

This is Niko's mommy. He is taking a nap right now. Nicholas' surgery went well yesterday. He was in a GREAT mood from the time we got there, to the time we left the hospital. He was all smiles. What a trooper! We got there at 5:45 am. My mom (a Saint) came with us. Nicholas was pretty much admitted right away. His surgery was set for 7:30. They gave him some "happy juice" and he sure was happy. He loved everyone! I was able to take him back to the operating room. It was kind of hard to see him being put under but I was able to give him a kiss from Mommy and Daddy. His surgery started a little past 7:30 and lasted until 11:00. The doctor met with my mom and I. He told us what to expect and how to change his diapers. He is wearing two diapers now. The inner diaper has a hole for the cathader and the outer diaper is to "catch" the pee. I changed it last night, and he screamed, I felt like the worst mommy in the whole wide world. I did sleep in his room last night. He went to bed at 8pm and woke up at 2:30 crying and not wanting to go to sleep. I gave him some medicine and a bottle. I also let him crawl for a bit. About 3:30 we went back to bed and he woke up at 6am. Needless to say, I am pooped :) The cathader can come out next Tuesday. It will be fun times changing his diaper. Niko feels okay. He is a little fussy, but I would be too! I am just giving him tons of love, and so is his daddy. Daddy brought home his meds and new diapers last night and really helped out. That is our update. Niko or I will update in a couple days. Now, I have to get ready for my first day back at school. Talk about emotions :) Take care, Mandy
