We are still here....

So Ben decided he is not going to eat or drink anything. He is back on his IV and sadly the doctors are trying to find a balance of pain meds that will give the poor kid some relief. He is due to start some steroids tonight to help with the swelling so that should help some too.

On the plus side the DVD player in our room works and Despicable Me seems to be offering the best distraction so far.

Lets hope we can leave in the morning!!!

Surgery Day....

So today was surgery day. We stayed last night at Ronald MacDonald house to make things easier. Somehow this didn't make us feel any more prepared. Surgery days are harder now, not that they were ever easy. Ben now understands that something is up on these days even if he doesn't really understand what is going to happen.

He was such a brave boy and walked himself back to surgery with his giraffe named Bear and his doll named Baby.

The recovery room was a nightmare this time. Ben was angry and in pain and screamed for all he was worth. We spent much of an hour passing him back and forth between Ashley and myself and in the end he settled when Harry came in to watch cartoons with him.

We are settle up in 771 and hopefully Ben will continue to eat and drink so we can get out of here. So far so good, fingers crossed it continues!

Here we go....

Happy 5th Anniversary to US!!
