Well I have finally laid eyes on my beautiful boy. He looks perfect ~ just like the angel that he is. He obviously has lots of tubes and wires, but otherwise he looks just like he just woke up from a nap. The incision on his head goes basically from ear to ear, across the top of his head with just a small bandage on that. They just had to cut his hair where they made the incision, so he even has his cute hairdo still!
He is coming off of the anesthesia, so he is rather 'fidgety'. He's on lots of good meds to keep him comfortable and still for most of the night. Two people at a time only in the ICU, so we have all been taking turns. Get this....the little man even tried to CRY when his Aunt Holly told him she was leaving to get his Daddy!!! What?!? At least I know he is all in there!
Ok, so don't stop praying now ~ this just HAS to work to STOP Henry's seizures. We should know fairly soon (within 24 hours or so) if the surgery is a success. He has made it through the hard part, so keep praying for the results we need.
Oh, and ladies.....you can EAT!! (You know who you are!)
Much love...next update soon.
Happy days....
