No problems with the anesthesia, 1st test, or what needed to be inserted for the 2nd. Actually, Judah's Australian anesthesiologist had quite a lovely exchange with him about all things Australia. And are we surprised? Ah, no.
He had a hard time waking up, but nothing out of the ordinary for him. It's always hard to see him be sad and uncomfortable, but snuggles from Mom usually do the trick.
Once we moved to the next room amd transitioned to the table, Judah calmed down quickly. I'm so thankful that he had residual sleepiness - that really helped! He held my hand the whole time, but he was relaxed and held still on the table for just over an hour! The docs got almost everything they wanted to get today - a HUGE win! His Child Life Specialist was amazing! She played country music from her iPad and engaged Judah in conversation right away. Ezra's sports, country music, and cowboy boots. Eli's college and visiting him. Puppies, therapy dogs, NICU babies, K-LOVE, Chic-Fil-A, Charlie & Ollie, chickens, living on a farm, Cat in the Hat, chocolate chip cookies, wanting to be a doctor, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse are the topics I can remember. Haha! I LOVE listening to Judah talk to people! When we were completely done, off the table, stickers off, ready to go, she surprised Judah with a Chic-Fil-A giftcard and thanked him for doing such great work today. That was the best! We left the building with smiles all around!
We are very happy to be home with Charlie and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. We'll know something in a couple days. And then we'll see what's next.
Again, THANK YOU for praying today! You guys are a gift to us!
