Coleton was a trooper during the 4 hours we were at the hospital before surgery. With a pre-surgery diet, consisting mostly of jello, he was in an especially happy and energetic mood. He loved playing with all the toys at Children's. I think, for the most part, he was having the time of his life.
Just after surgery, Coleton was not a happy camper. His throat was soar from the tube he'd had down his throat due to being under general anesthesia, and he just seemed very uncomfortable. It made for some special cuddle time.
By day 2, Coleton was unhooked from i.v. fluids and we were in the playroom more than his hospital room. Here, he just finished making "coffee" for Daddy at the play kitchen.Just before I got this clip, Coleton was really singing away with "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart." With a plate full of french fries, I think Coleton has only good things to say about hospital food.
We got home yesterday afternoon, and Coleton is doing great. His port is accessed with a line so we can give him factor twice a day for about a week to keep the bleeding under control. Other than that, he is actively playing and back to normal. (Of course, "normal" takes on a whole different meaning in Coleton's case. ;)
