Eli's Surgery

A couple of weeks ago, Eli had hernia surgery.  He was such a good little boy.  We got to the hospital early in the morning.  He thought it was so cool that he got a braclet from the lady and a coloring book and  crayons.  Little did he know what was comming.....

He did get a cool ride in the red wagon

He got some cool red socks...

And an awesome blue teddy bear. 

Just chillin' witing for the doctor to show up

Pretty tired after the surgery.  He slept for about two hours...

As soon as that anesthia wore of, he was pretty much wide a wake and ready to go home.

He was in quite a bit of pain for a couple of days.  It's pretty sad taking a two year old for a surgery like that.  He kept telling me " The doctor hurt my bum"  He didn't understand that it needed to be done.  How do you explain it to a little guy like him?  Anyhow, Things are pretty much all healed and feeling much better.

That scene looks all too familiar. It's so hard to explain to kids about those things and it's hard as a mom to watch them go through all of it and all you can do is hold and rock them. I'm so glad he is doing better. Will he need any more surgeries?

No more surgeries for Eli. (hopefully) IT's all taken care of. :) How's Chloe doing?

Eli is so cute! It's sad when they just don't understand. But he's young enough he may forget all about it!
