Dr. Moulton (surgeon) just came out and told us that the hernia surgery went well. In addition to the hernia on the left side which we knew about, he found and corrected the hernia on his right side.
As I write this, Jac is getting transferred to the recovery room, and we should be seeing him in another 20-30 minutes!
Dr. Campanini (anesthesiologist) also gave us an update -- his IV went in on the first try (into the right arm), and the caudal block worked well.
During the surgery he had a breathing tube for general anesthesia which was removed after the surgery. After the surgery the anesthesia was affecting his breathing a bit -- he was holding his breath a bit -- so the doctors had to put him back onto the breathing tube for a few minutes after the procedure.
He is breathing out his anesthesia, but he now can be aroused to wake briefly. As the anesthetic gases come out of his system, he will get to a point where he will be awake, mad, and hungry!
We are now waiting for the nurses to confirm that he cries, wakes up, and clear his secretions. When that happens, it'll be time for his big breakfast! He has not eaten breast milk since 12:30 am and Pedialyte since 5:20 am!
We can't wait to see the babes!
