[quote name='thelonepig']Well that went a lot better than expected.
The doctor wasn't running on time, so we didn't get in until about 10am (initial surgery was scheduled at 8:40am). My little guy was smiling and cooing at all of the nurses as they took him back to the operating room.
Doctor came back 45 minutes later and told us that the surgery went quickly. The tract that was removed was about an inch long and only required one small incision. My wife was allowed to go see him (one parent at a time) and he was playing with the IV, smiling and laughing. We left the hospital just after noon and picked up some Tylenol on the way home.
He's been rolling around on the floor laughing and talking for the past hour. He's got some minor swelling around the incision, but it only took a few stitches and some glue to seal off.
We know the billing so far is just under $700 for the hospital; I'm waiting on more details from the anesthesiologist and surgeon, but neither should be too expensive given the smoothness of the procedure.
You've all been awesome and supportive. Thank you![/QUOTE]
Congratulations on the successful surgery. I'll pray for a quick recovery and healing.
