Fingers crossed.....Going Home

Why is this little guy smiling????????

Because at 7am, his doctor came in and removed his drain and catheter. I was a little worried about pain control during, but Logan was happily distracted by my cell phone. He did manage to do something to my phone because at one point the screen said, "Purchase Approved" ......mental note to call Verizon later to find out what he purchased.

He was a happy camper losing 2 tubes......we just had to make sure his urine culture was negative from admission and as long as he was eating, drinking, peeing, pooping, and his pain controlled with oral pain meds, we could go home in the afternoon.

Gave the little man a sponge bath and put on some jammies......He was happy!


Add pain medication to that equation and he was SUPER happy!

Mr. Giddy......munching on the pillowcase

Logan had accomplished ALOT by lunchtime.....a yummy meatball lunch

He had peed, pooped, drank, ate and the pain meds were working.

Oh, and the urine culture was negative......YIPEE!

Now, all we had to do was wait for our nurse to get discharge instructions........easy? NOPE!

Let's just say the nurse of the last day was NOT my favorite.....had some serious issues with her!

You can see how distended his poor little belly was......

While waiting a LONG time for the nurse to get the discharge orders, we went to the playroom for a little fun!

We were finally discharged at about 3:30pm......

Off to my parents house to pick up Ella and Sprout....

After a trip to Target, Walgreens, and the grocery store......needed 3 prescriptions that required 2 pharmacies and some milk for Logan, we walked in the door at 6pm......

Exhausted.......officially exhausted

A quick dinner snack was enjoyed by Logan. He was really happy to be back home in his highchair! I was excited to take a SHOWER! ( No, I didn't go 3 days without one, I did leave the hospital for a bit on Tuesday to go to Megan's for a shower)

We had a pretty good night's sleep on the couch but more than anything, we were so HAPPY and RELIEVED that the surgery went so well and we were HOME!

Thank you to everyone for keeping us all in your prayers!
