Surgery

Caleb's surgery went very well. It was at scheduled for 12:45 on Monday and they actually came and took him in 15 minutes early unlike last time it was a 3 hour delay. The whole procedure from start to finish took about two hours. He woke up about a half an hour after surgery and we ready to get out of there. He was trying to pull his IV out and walk around. They let him walk about a half an hour after he woke up because he wouldn't sit still and he did fine. They were surprised because they gave him what is called a caudal block which is just like an epidural but in only numbs from the waiste down not your stomach down. We head back up to Chicago Friday so they can remove the dressing and then I believe he has an appointment in a couple of weeks after that... hopefully his last. He seems to be going to the bathroom just fine and is back to his normal activity. Caleb doesn't seem to be in to much pain unless he tries to get up on a chair really quick then he kind of stops and cries for a few minutes. Hope all is well with everyone else... Cant wait to get out and play.

update

This week had been very busy. On Wednesday we headed up to Chicago once again to find out when Caleb was going to need surgery again for his hypospadias that didn't heal completey right the first time. They scheduled his surgery for Monday the 7th! We will find out what time it will be tomorrow sometime early morning. Today we had to go to the doctor because he has been running a temp on and off for the last three days and it has to be gone by Monday before they will do surgery. He has had ear infections for the last 2 months and thats why he has had a fever on and off. If his ears are not better by the 14th of this month we will be scheduling a time to do tubes in his ears :(. We will keep everyone updated on how he is doing after surgery. It is going to be an outpatient surgery so he will come home the same day. The procedure takes about an hour verse the four it took before. Im not to sure what exactly they do to close up his fistula but we will know more once it gets closer.
