Home Sweet Home!!

It is true!!!! We are home in record time!!!!! We got home Friday night at
about 5:30!!!! I am totally shocked! The recovery was much faster as they
didn’t tailor his urethra (so they didn’t have to cut through his bladder).
When they got in there, they say that it was naturally tailored at the very
end where it connects to the bladder which was great!!! That alone has
shortened the recovery by leaps and bounds! Ben is still on pain meds
(which I think make him a little hyper or something!!!) but he is doing
really well. He was in desperate need of a good night sleep and didn’t wake
until 8:30 this morning! During surgery he had some elevated adrenaline
levels or something that made them think that his innocent heart murmur
might not be so innocent. They pulled a cardio-anesthesiologist in during
surgery who said it might link all of the problems Ben has been having
together (weight issues, anemia, etc). We saw two cardiologists on Friday
morning and they didn’t seem to be concerned but after talking to our
urologist, he wants us to get a third opinion since we are getting two
different stories. Since they were so concerned in surgery his gut feeling
is that we need to follow up with it and we are on the same page with him.
So.....the issues seem to be never ending with our little love and we will
see Dr. Jones (our urologist) and a cardiologist on Friday morning at
9:00am. Keep the prayers coming!!
