Q's surgery went well, the doc said the hernia was quite large! (just like I thought...and that's why we thought there were two...!!) However, little Q didn't react so well to the anesthesia and would not fully wake up. He quit breathing twice on the nurses during recovery and scared everyone. When we finally got to see him, we held him and tickled him and tried to wake him up for a couple of hours, but to no avail. It was awful to see him laying there hooked up to all sorts of things and see the worry in the nurses eyes as we all tried to wake him and panic settled in. He was still on oxygen and couldn't breathe without it...so they finally decided to watch him overnight. So, it was back to another hospital room! Anyway, he did wake up about 12 hours after the surgery and looked at us and smiled and ate a few ounces and then went back to sleep. (what a relief!) He is now off the oxygen and we're hoping they will let him go this morning. I have been on so many rides of emotion the last couple of months...and this one was no different....scared, horrified, sad, upset, peace that all would be well, hope, and then relief when those big blue eyes finally focused on mine and those dimpled little cheeks turned into a huge grin....awwww...he was back!
And check out this fun room we were in!!
Oh, I am so sorry Erika I cant believe all that you have gone through. This post made me cry and maybe thankful for all that I have and for my family. I hope you are doing ok and that you stay strong. You are an amazing person to endure all of this. Our prayers are with you and your family.
ReplyDeletePoor little fella... All those tubes and machines. So glad and grateful he, and hopefully you, are doing better today!
ReplyDeleteHe looks SO BIG and healthy!
Sorry I missed you. I tried to come visit but when I walked up to the doorway of his room I saw him laying on the bed and a nurse assessing him. I didn't see you or landon anywhere so I left. I didn't dare walk in incase it wasn't really little Squire. I hope from this point on, all goes well for you and your beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad he's doing good, you are an amazing person and we will keep your whole family in our prayers

How scary, I was so nervous when Landon had surgery at 6 months. I think its a scary thing especially when they are so small. I am glad he is doing well and hope you guys get to come home soon. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteWe're so glad that it's all over and done. I can't imagine the scare he gave you. We love you.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh! you guys have been through so much! I am so sorry, but I am so glad to hear that he is doing so much better! How scary! As always your family is in our thoughts and prayers. We love you guys and cant wait to have our friends and neighbors back sound and healthy!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a roller coaster ride you guys have been on! So scary! I pray all will go well and you can have a nice, quiet, uneventful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for all that you've been through lately, but VERY relieved to hear that little Q is doing well now. Your story of his surgery SO closely mirrors our own...

Hudson had to have a very large hernia repaired when he was 2 months old and had a similar reaction to the anesthesia. What a horrible, helpless, scary time! Those boys...they like to make Mama worry! ;c)
I'm so glad everything turned out well for your little man. I can't imagine how hard that was for you and your family. We were praying for him. And by the way, he looks awfully cute these days, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a scare! I will never forget when that happened to Dallin. It was really hard. What a cute little baby you have. Kyle needs to have hernia surgery in a couple of weeks and I am not looking forward to it! I hope to talk to you soon!
