Zach had his little procedure done in early August. He was such a trooper! It was a mommy and Zach day and we made the most of it.
He did great in the waiting room and was happy to have his gown and slippers on. They gave him some happy medicine and before we knew it, he was off to the O.R.
I had the newspaper to read, a magazine, and my ipad - all to keep myself from being bored. No need to haul the unnecessary things when the procedure lasted less than 10 minutes. The doc came in and said all went well and it really wasn't as in depth as they thought - so healing should be quick!
After he was released, we headed home. The drive home wasn't as fun - apparently coming out of the anesthesia is hard for youngsters. We made a stop at a gas station, I filled up the tank and Zach filled up his belly with some chocolate milk. We stopped at Nana's work, and then when the crying continued into the last leg of the trip, we made a quick detour into the nearest Mickey D's. He filled up more on a cheeseburger and fries - poor guy was starving!
Going to the bathroom was tough for the first day. We were told it would sting so we had warm water ready to pour over and divert his attention from the pain. The best part was when he was able to pee straight down and he looked up and said..."It's fixed!"
With the stream being shot in the appropriate direction, we are so glad for a safe, happy ending on his part and a semi-clean bathroom on my part!
