Tomorrow, Monday, September 15th is the big day for Sebastian...he is having his port surgery.
I think he is is excited to get it out since we explained that it means no more needles. He asked if he will have "the mask" (for the anesthsia) and like an idiot I said, "Yes." I wanted him to be prepared but this totally sent him into a panic and he was crying about being scared of "the mask." So Brian and I just told him "No mask" and he calmed down. He's having Versed so he won't remember the mask anyway. Thank God!
We'll be there at 5:30 a.m. and he should be going under about 7:30 a.m. Please lift our little guy up to the Lord and pray that this is his last surgeryThank you! Thank you!
Off to go wash his Super Man pajamas. He wants to wear them tomorrow to help him be a brave boy and they were in the laundry.
Much love and gratitude! ~Amber
Sorry it took me so long to post. I had a stressful couple of days...Everything went well and Sebastian came through fine. He was quite a mess for a good while after he woke up. He was wailing for pain medicine...somethign he's never done before. Some Morphine, Lortab and chicken nuggets eventually perked him up. For more info you can checkout our family blog. PM me if you need the address. Thanks for all your prayers!!! No matter how many times we've seen Sebastian taken away to be put under we still get that anxious feeling. I'm relieved the surgery is over and my little red head's future is bright! I'll try and post some pics tommorow while the kids are at preschool. When you are not using the port for treatments it still has to be flushed every three weeks to avoid clotting. The less needles the better!
I said ......... of course not sweetie! Mommy needs photos to embarass you with later in life. Silly boy!!!
Amber~those pictures are precious!! It's good to see that I am not the only person that takes pictures of their kid in the hospital.
Hank even just asked me if I could leave the camera at home for this coming surgery on tuesday!
