Hernia surgery success!

Luke's hernia surgery went well yesterday. His excellent surgeon Dr. Bliss said he's never seen a hernia like this resulting from a port hole incision, leave it to Luke to be the first. He has about a 1 1/2" incision. All the stitches are on the inside, with surgical glue on top, which makes for less worries when he's crawling around. Luke needed a little help clearing out his lungs after the surgery, but after that he was just grumpy from the icky feeling from the anesthesia. After some good pain medicine he rested comfortably during recovery and pretty much slept the rest of the day and night (a nice recovery for mom and dad too).
Today he's been playing with big brother Bryan and back to enjoying himself.
Thanks to all who were concerned!

Busy Boys!


Here's a picture of the boys playing together. It's great to see them play together more and more. Luke is hanging on to the toy basket, he loves to pull himself up on anything now. Bryan has one of his favorite hats on, his fireman's hat.
This Thursday Oct. 9th, Luke will have his hernia surgery. It's to repair a hernia from an incision point on his tummy from his intestinal surgery he had when he was in the hospital. He'll go in the a.m. and the surgery will be less than an hour and he'll be home that afternoon. A little nervous considering it is surgery, but it will be good to get this last little thing fixed.
