hernia...all gone!

This week was a tiring one for all of us. Wednesday morning Nicolas had his inguinal hernia surgery and in the process the doctor's also removed his appendix. Apparently it was caught in the hernia and it was easier to remove it completely. We are hoping this is a good thing for him in the long run and maybe its one less organ that can cause later problems in life. :-)

It was a mess for us that day - due in part to the secretary of the doctor who told us to be at the hospital at 7:30 am and forgot they don't do surgery on Wednesdays until 10am. So we were stuck with a starving child there for hours (we had to stop feeding him after 3am). We spent the night there - to make sure Nicolas didn't have any spells or complications - and came home at 3pm on Thursday - I taught class that night until 9:30pm and it was the most tired I've ever been.

So far Nicolas seems to be ok with it all. His little discomfort from time to time is treated with lots of holding -- and tylenol. :-)
