Josh Update

I know that many of you are aware that Josh had surgery today. Everything went well. I was concerned mostly that he'd have a hard time not eating this morning, because he didn't have to be at the clinic until 10:00... but he was a champ. Only mentioned he was hungry 1 time.

The doctor said he did have a "sizable" hernia, which he fixed. He checked out the other side, and found nothing that needed fixing right now, though there is a possibility of a hernia there in the future.

Josh had a rough night last night. He was really concerned about today. I think he was having nightmares about it, because he kept waking up and crying a lot. After the surgery, they let him sleep off the anesthesia. Since he was so tired, he slept for nearly 2 hours then.

I have some pictures I will post at some point, but I just wanted to make sure that anyone who knew this was coming knew that it was just fine now. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

I didn't know he had a hernia. Glad things went well. Surgery is scarey when it's on your kids. We've been through 3 surgeries although I think Josh's is more serious. Good luck on the healing!!
