OUCH!!
Yesterday, in the wee hours of the morning, Liz came by to be with our girls (thanks Liz…and Leonard for watching Lina!)…so that Emily and I could take Noah to get his surgery. A circumcision-REDO. Yep…if it wasn’t bad enough the first time, Noah got to do it again! I guess every so often, as a baby boy grows, the skin of “that part” can grow a bit too much, requiring a REDO.
We checked into the Cedar Sinai outpatient surgery center, and despite the early hours, Noah was in a really good mood. Smiling, exploring his new crib/bed, meeting the nurses…poor dude had no idea what was about to transpire! We were given a grape mixture to give to him, and within a few minutes, right before our eyes, Noah got really really drowsy…then it was off to the OR.
One hour later, he was brought to recovery. Here he is before waking up, and before the nurse told me no pics in recovery!
Here we are just a day after, and Noah has really bounced back! For a large chunk of the day, he needed no painkillers at all, and was in a really fun active mood all morning. Let’s hope he has ZERO recollection of all of this!
Anyways…on a lighter note, here’s the monster (who we affectionately refer to as “Godzilla”) sneaking himself into a box of German Chocolates. I have no idea how many bites he downed before we caught him…but as you can see, his mouth is VERY full.
