Hudsons Surgery Day

So, Last Friday Hudson had his eye surgery. He had a clogged tear duct (can't remember the technical term for it). So we saw a pediatric ophthalmologist and he said he would recommend having the surgery. It is a very common surgery, and doesn't take very long at all, but they had to put him out for it. That was the hardest, longest part. Here is Hudson at primary's waiting to be taken back. His hospital pajamas were SO dang cute on him. I wanted to take them home. :) He was VERY tired and VERY hungry that morning because he couldn't eat anything for about 12 hours prior to the surgery.

I didn't take any pictures of him after the surgery was over because it was pretty traumatic while he was coming out of the anesthesia. He was screaming for momma, and I was HOLDING HIM! The nurse was trying to get him to take sips of a slushy, and eat a cookie, but he wouldn't. So there we were, sitting with him in the rocking chair, while he just screamed.... he was SO not himself. It took about a half hour for him to finally stop crying and fall asleep in my arms. Poor little guy. It was rough. But, the good news is that the surgery seems to have been very successful. He hasn't had any of the symptoms since, and he actually ENJOYS when we have to put the eye drops in his eye. It's pretty cute how he just surrenders himself to me and lays his head back on my leg so that I can put a drop in. Sweet little man of mine.
