He had his NICU reunion on the 5th. It was fun seeing everybody from St. Luke's as usual. Lots of little miracles running around causing havoc. I think Omi got a bit overwhelmed and fell asleep for half the time we were there.
Can't really blame him though, it was a lot to process for the little guy.
St. Luke's Rocks!
And the next day was the other side of the spectrum. Omi had his hernia operation on the 6th.
Everything went as well as it could go. His surgeon put a scope in his belly button and saw that the original surgery site he did busted back open. He said they count on a little bit of scarring to help keep it closed, and Omi didn't really have any scar tissue. So, it needed to be repaired, which he did. The surgeon said he stitched him up like he would an adult, so we're not anticipating it being a problem again. (famous last words)
He tolerated the surgery pretty well. The first couple hours after he woke up he was really groggy and a little whiny (I would be too) but came around fairly quickly, and by that evening was rolling around in his crib smiling and acting like nothing happened. He seemed more concerned with the pain from teething than anything. Go figure.
We spent the night with him and the next morning got to take him home. The kid didn't miss a beat, but we tried to make him take it easy fro the next few days and were watching him like hawks to see if he was in any pain or having problems.
He seems to be over the whole thing like it never happened.
Fine with us.
Since then, he's been on cruise control and back to normal.
Yay Omi!
PICS!!!!!
