The pre-surgery slumber on the sofa. Tonight Da Da and I went and met some of our new Dad friends for drinks and Gramma watched JH. It was great to get out with people that are in very similar situations. We had a great time!!
When we walked in Gramma was laying on the sofa watching House Hunters and JH was at the other end of the sofa sleeping. We're trying to keep him up as late as possible so he sleeps later tomorrow and has less time to be hungry in the morning. We bought some jello that he can have but no regulars like Banana and Oatmeal.
I'm not sure Da Da and I will sleep much tonight worrying about our boy. He's in very good hands and we even met a surgeon just before we left the get-together tonight that knows Jonathan's surgeon. He spoke very highly of her and after 3 visits with her, we're confident Jonathan will be just fine.
I'll skip the routine updates and save updates for tomorrow after Jonathan's 10:30 AM surgery. We love our boy so much and the thought of him not understanding what's happening to him is agonizing. You parents that have been through it know what I'm babbling about!! Enough, goodnight and positive thoughts for Jonathan Harper.
I am thinking of you all day and sending my love love love!!
ReplyDeleteAs Jon mentioned Grandma V. came in this afternoon. The three of us picked her up from Union Station and met her at her gate. JH was very excited to see her as well as all of the HUGE trains.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as we got in Grandma pretty much pushed us out the door and said get out of here....I've got it covered. She knows and understands that Daddy and DaDa need to get out from time to time. As much as we hate leaving him it's nice to know that we can and that he's in good hands.
I have to say that tonight was one of my favorite nights that we've had in a while. As Daddy said, we met some friends our for as few drinks.
It was nice to be around other guys that are going through the same things that we are going through. We all talked about our kids all night and we even got some pointers as well from some of the seasoned Dads.
I have to admit...walking in the door to JH asleep next to my mom on the sofa was priceless. Really brought some memories from my childhood.
