Sept. 25th

Rennan had to get minor surgery at Kapiolani Hosp. We admitted him at 5 am. Prep was at 7am. Actual procedure was over by 9am. They had to put him to sleep for an hour.
He was such a trooper that we could leave by 11:30 am. Picture is taken in waiting room before procedure. This was one of the nerve recking days yet. He was only 8 1/2 months old.
All the nurses said he looked so cute in the patient's outfit with his hair sticking up.
I'm so glad in not in the medical field. I can't deal with what the children go through. While in recovery, I witness a 8 year-old boy screaming for him mom. He just got through with his second eye surgery. It was all bandaged up. I'm so glad Rennan was too young to understand mommy wasn't there during his surgery. The doctor said that Rennan did great and the nurses took good care of him. He was just getting up when I saw him in recovery room trying to suck his thumb but the oxygen mask was covering his face. Nurse helped him find his thumb.
Thank goodness the Almighty is with us.
