The Day that Wouldn't End!

Today DJ had his surgery, so of course we had a strict regiment last night. He was on his feed until midnight and then had Pedialight through his g-tube until 5 am. At 5 we woke up, got dressed and headed to the hospital where we registered and waited in pre-op until around 8:15. They took DJ in and put in another g-tube that matched his first one and they did dilations up to the size of a pencil. The Dr. said that everything went well and that we will meet again in three to four weeks to repeat the dilations. DJ, however, is less pleased with the situation. He doesn't like having the long tube back in and he is in quite alot of pain from his throat and also from where they they had to make the hole in his tummy bigger. We were in Recovery for almost four hours because of the amount of pain he was in and because he refused to drink anything. Finally at one o'clock we were able to leave and come home. He seems to be doing alright for now. He is well medicated and coloring in his books on the couch.Now if only I could catch a nap somewhere! Maybe in 15 years when all the kids are out of the house. Here's to dreams!
