While it is never fun to send your baby off to surgery, we are glad we were able to get this procedure taken care of. Jackson was in the hands of a wonderful doctor and that made this lots easier. He was such a good boy.

We had to be to the hospital by 6am and Jack was not to have anything to eat after midnight. I thought for sure he would be a hot mess, but he handled himself like a perfect gentleman! We waited forever. There was something wrong with their computers and we waited for what seemed to be forever before they got us back.
Once they got us back, Jackson was checked over by a nurse, we were assigned to our room and he was changed into this beautiful hospital gown! My happy boy had no idea what he was in for and that made me feel so bad.

Surgery seemed to happen very quickly. We waited only a little while before they came and brought us to his recovery room. Jackson was still with the nurses coming out of anesthesia. Dr. Burns came and talked with us and said everything went great. He said they would bring Jackson in to see us in about 5 minutes. 45 minutes went by and I started to get a little worried. Dr. Burns came back in and said Jack was not a happy camper when he woke up and he hit his eye which caused a hematoma. He was put back under and they had to reopen his incision, drain the hematoma and stitch him back up again. That was why things were taking so long. We were so happy to see our Jack. He was so so tired and his eye was so sad.

We made it home, Jackson got a bath and all he wanted to do was snuggle. He was careful with his stiches and left that eye alone. We took it easy for a couple of days.

The next few days he looked pretty rough but was feeling quite good! He played with his Fisher Price Radio Grandma got him! It's a favorite! His eye bruised up quite a bit, but I was shocked every morning I would get him out of bed at how much it improved over night.
