Eye Surgery

Yesterday, Sutton had eye surgery at Children's in Birmingham.  Everything went fine, and it's always a relief when surgery is over and your baby is back in your arms.

We had to be at the hospital at 5:45, so we told Layne she could either spend the night with Grandma or we would take her at 4 a.m.  Much to our surprise, she chose to spend the night with Grandma and Verbon.  Of course, she wanted to eat supper, take a bath, and put on pajamas before Grandma picked her up.



Mom picked her up a little after 7:00, she called home at 8:00, and then at 9:00 she came home.  She told mom she was scared and needed her mommy and daddy.  I was secretly thrilled she came home.  It's very odd to me to be home at night and not have both of my children with me.

Sutton was in a great mood before surgery.  He looked so cute in his little yellow gown.

Sutton was taken back to surgery around 7:30 and was brought back to us around 10:00.  He was so pitiful.  He had to drink clear liquid before we could be discharged.  He normally doesn't ever drink anything that is thin, but after he woke up a little, be drank six ounces of apple juice/water. 

After Sutton drank, we were immediately discharged and headed home.



He was a little grouchy the rest of the day, so we gave him pain medicine at bedtime and we were all asleep at 8:15.

I have to add this just because I think it's so typical of Layne.  Mom said at breakfast that Layne told Verbon that he is a guy and her grandma is a lady, so he has to say yes maam to her.  I really don't know where she gets her little saying.
