A success! He did great - as usual I only lost it when they wheeled him away from me, but by then he was happily on the "happy juice" and couldn't care less where he was going! I actually didn't quite lose it but it wasn't easy to keep it mostly together. Ya know?
He doesn't remember much after watching the happy juice get injected into his IV. He was a real trooper with the IV placement...they injected some lidocaine to freeze the site and he hardly flinched. Big boy!
The surgeon said the hole (again, similar to a defect found with hernias) was almost big enough for her to put her thumb into. He's lucky no intestine had found its way through. His incision site is about 1.5-2 inches long and is glued shut. So no more lacrosse for him this season!
He took some Motrin when we left the hospital at around 3 and then again before he went to bed last night...and hasn't needed any since. He's done amazing!
Thank you for thoughts and prayers! I'll post our pre-op picture of him in his hospital gown!

I tried calling you 2x yesterday! My heart was breaking for my little man! Hope he got a lot of love and a lot of ice cream. Smother him with Aunt Kimmie's kisses and hugs (but gently).

He's his Daddy's boy! I knew he'd get through it fine but I'm surprised he's had so little pain. Tell him Gramma sends kisses and hugs and that I'm so very proud of him.
