Hudson and the hospital

Hudson had his circumcision yesterday morning. He did very well. The staff at Holy Family was great with him. He was even fine with the nurses carrying him out of the room & saying "bye" to us. Although once the surgery was over they called me back to recovery & there I found a very different little Hudson. He was crying hysterically & saying "my penis hurts". Poor little guy! So it took about 10 minutes sitting with mommy & a little Phentonal to calm him down. We were home by 11:30 and the day was hit & miss. Sometimes he would be fine & then he would cry & cry and say "it hurts". He slept all through the night & is better today. Thanks to all the calls & people who stopped by. A big thanks to my mom for making dinner for us & bringing it over.

He really liked the "Tigger" pajamas

The anesthesiologist brought in the mask he would wear to put him out. So he would be sleeping before they started the IV to do the general anesthetic.

Hudson loves to know the schedule & what the plan is. So playing with his mask before hand was perfect & it also smelled like strawberries.

Amy, I've finally had a chance to visit your blog and I'm loving it. Your family is precious! Poor little Hudson, I'm so glad it's over for him. We just went through a surgery for our son too, not the same one though. Kids tend to bounce back so fast. Take Care~Kelli

Hey you - I'm glad Hudson is doing better! Oh boy, it's always hard when your kiddos are sick or in pain. He'll be good, though... give him another few days. BTW, I'm loving your favorite songs list, you and I have a lot of the same ones! BLACK HAPPY?! I better update my playlist!
