We have had a long two days! Yesterday morning we left for the airport, flew to Sac. went to several appointments, and met my mom for dinner. We stayed the night with her in her hotel room. We did not sleep well because I set several alarms to wake me so Alex could eat before the cut off. We got up at 4am to check in at the hospital. We didn't get into his room until 3:30pm! I am exhausted. My mom has been a big help and very supportive. It is so nice to just have someone to talk to. I am at the Sharing Place again, taking a little break to update everyone.
Alex was in surgery for almost 4 hours. He did really well and is recovering as well as expected. His little head is all bandaged, except for his encephalocele. It doesn't look a lot different yet, but hopefully in a few weeks his will look like a different little man! Please pray that he won't get an infection, and that the swelling will be under control.
More later...

Praying for Alex (and you). Bless you for the love & care you are giving him.
I am so glad he is doing OK. Saying a prayer. Angel
Glad it went well.
That's the hard part of surgery for babies--they have no clue why you have forgotten their morning bottle. One of Jasmine's was delayed until 3:30 pm and we hadn't eaten since midnight. We were BOTH crying by time she went to surgery!
