I took Noah in this morning to get his frenectomy and all went well... he was so brave about the whole thing!
He was a little nervous lastnight and shared his concern about waking up in the middle of surgery, but thankfully, Aaron was able to help him feel comfortable about it by telling him that he's done many surgeries and he's never had any of his patients ever wake up in the middle of surgery. He also told Noah that there are many adults that are scared of the very same thing and so it's OK if he feels scared.
Michael woke up sick in the middle of the night with tummy cramps and a really accident (didn't make it to the bathroom in time) so I was cleaning him and the bedspreads at 1AM.... it was a really bad night for that to happen, but thankfully, he fell asleep again by 2AM so I was able to sleep a little bit before 6AM.
Noah woke up very peaceful (THANK YOU, GOD!) and I was actually very much at peace as well... even though Aaron couldn't come with me, I really didn't end up being a big deal. We gave Noah his valium at 7:30AM and he began to feel the effects of the medication right away. He was struggling to put his socks and shoes on and kept stumbling around. It was so cute!
The procedure only lasted about 40 minutes from beginning to end and the nurses and doctor said he was so brave and did GREAT. He apparently even watched as they put in his i.v. I asked if he remembered anything and he said he felt like he was awake the whole time but then he later said maybe he was asleep for 5 minutes.... Anyways, all went well and he is now able to stick his tongue straight out! He was pretty amazed at that! WE went through McDonald's drive thru and got him a strawberry milkshake.... now he's drowsy and watching Arthur. He should be OK with eating regular food by sunday or monday. I'm so glad it's over and he did great!
THANK YOU God :)
