Ok hon, quick run down....

I let Ad take him in, I was already a blubbering mess... glad I did, Ad said its really upsetting watching them go out to it... so just be prepared....

took about 2 hrs, but we had another lip reapair and grommits....

when we got to see him, he was trying to scream, but his little voice was all hoarse, and it was very bloody all over his face....

he took his bottle straight away, and fell asleep on my chest for a while...

he was EXTREMELY clingy, couldn't put him down to change his nappy!!

I was warned he will probably throw up all the blood swallowed during surgery, and he did, heaps, and I cried again.... but he felt much better afterwards and settled well...

after 10 hrs we asked to get the drips out and give him morphine by mouth, and they did... no drips or cords or anything!!!

he wasn't interested in food, so had different liquids... sustagen, milo etc...

left after 24 hrs and drove 6 hrs home!!! He done so well, I cried the whole time and Ad was great!!

Took a few days to even get custard into him, and he lost 2 kilos in that week, but he eventually started back up, and within 2 weeks was back to eating heaps (soft stuff) and within 4 weeks back to normal diet!!

Had pain meds for about 2 weeks.... Make sure you get some scripts from the hossy... we had to take him back to our local hossy for pain meds, but they had to confer with Westmead and it was all a hassle... but he was great with the meds, and we just slowly took him off them....

Ill jump back on if I think of anything else..... gotta go... she's hungry again....
