We have all settled in nicely and Jac is now asleep in his really large crib.
After some initial setup issues with his oxygen he has settled in and woke up around 7:30 pm wanting to eat! Really eat! He took 90 ml (3 ounces) in about half an hour and I think he would have taken it a lot faster if I had let him!
Daddy came to visit this evening (he had to leave around noon to do work!). Around 8:30 pm he took another 60 ml (2 ounces).
His incisions look really good. They are fairly small and in the creases of his legs. The stitches are dissolvable and on the inside and will dissolve on their own and the steri-strips will stay on for a few weeks and then just fall off. (I had the same sort of thing for my c-section but I had staples rather than stitches!)
He seems much more comfortable in terms of his digestions and general comfort level without the hernia to bother him. This is all preliminary though. The caudal block has worn off now but he is taking Tylenol which is pretty good pain meds for a little one like him.
We shall see what the night brings but for the moment he is resting very comfortably.
Fred and I are so happy to hear that surgery and recovery are going so well.

I've been thinking of all of you and said many prayers yesterday for Jac. I hope all is continuing to go well.
