Jack got his surgery this past Tuesday. I was so sad. He went in happy not knowing what was about to happen. Then he swelled up and things turned not so routine anymore. I got called back to see him after he woke up from the anesthiea, only 1 parent can go back at a time. When I got back there they were suctioning his nose. I didn't know anything. I just wanted to hold him and have him see me. Finally they were done and when I got him there was a tube in his nose that went down his throat just in case he stopped breathing the tube was there for oxygen. He also had a string sewed to his tongue in case it fell to the back of his throat the nurses could grab it and pull his tongue back. So I was comforting him when the doctor came and said the tube in his nose was kinda small and to put in a bigger one. So they took him from me and was holding him down and he was freaking out. That 's when I lost it and starting crying and the tears just wouldn't quit. So they called David back and he came back all excited to see him then he saw me bawling and Jack screaming and the nurse started to explain to David. So instead of going to the recovery floor they wanted to watch his breathing closer so they sent him to ICU. "The Problem"Safe with Dad in the waiting room before surgery.Getting his surgery jammies onA small breeze back thereHe's starting to get worried.Off to surgeryAfter surgery in ICUHe needed arm restraints =(He watched the nurses like hawks he hated them!
