Successful Surgery


Mac's hernia surgery on Thursday was successful. When the doctor came in to look at him and talk to us before the surgery, he noticed that Mac had another hernia on the left side. The initial hernia was on the right. He decided to go ahead and fix both of them at the same time. The good part is that we only had to go in once. The bad part is that he has 2 incisions. He seems to be doing well. Today (2 days after surgery) has been a little rough. I am sure he is sore. He definitely takes to anestetics like his momma. We left him about 8:15 and surgery started around 8:45. They gave him a caudal for pain management, but it didn't take well. They had to give him morphine. He didn't wake up until 8:15 Thursday night. When he did wake up, he was a hungry but happy boy. Hopefully this is all the surgery we will have to endure.

That is so wonderful the surgery went well. Praise the Lord for his continued goodness. He is just growing and such a cutie pie.

God Bless!
