We arrived in hospital at 6:30am. This is our room - 313.Jacob was quite happy to be there as he probably didn't understand what exactly was going to happen to him.
At around 8:30am he was taken downstairs to operating theatre. I was allowed to accompany him and to hold his hand while he was put to sleep. He was very brave - last thing before his eyes closed, he gave me thumbs up - Tops!
View from our room.
Operation took about just under an hour. I was waiting in the room... had a good cry... it was awful! I hope I never have to do it again.
Here's Jacob right after the operation. He was really confused and in quite a bit of pain. It broke my heart to see him like this...
Awake. Feeling drowsy and sick. Poor thing!
Yummmm - green jelly, bring it on!
Ice block and favourite DVD - Evolution. Life is not so bad after all... :-)
We spent one night in hospital. Jacob had the drip and he was also hooked up to the machine that measures heartbeat and oxygen levels - it's just a little clip with the red light that goes on the finger.
Anyway... this machine was beeping every time the clip fell off which made it impossible for me to sleep. It was terrible - I was up all night because of that bloody machine!
At home. Having a good rest.
It's now a week and a half since the operation and only yesterday he was starting to feel better. He didn't even need Panadol and was able to eat and drink without pain. Today he looked back to normal.
He still wakes up few times at night because of sore throat but when he's asleep he can breathe normally and seems to have a good deep sleep :-) In the long run, it was all worth it.
