Surgery!

After visiting the ER we were referred back to Dr. Kaefer, who did Aiden's first surgery. We went to see Dr. Kaefer on Wednesday after Aiden woke up with some stomach pain and a fever. Dr. Kaefer explained that hernia has been with Aiden from birth. He told us that we could have the surgery as soon as Friday or we could wait until is more convenient. I decided I would rather get it done so we did not have to worry about Aiden being in pain. So we took Aiden in today for the surgery. I think the hardest part of the day was that the surgery was not until 2:30pm and Aiden was not allowed to eat after midnight. It is very hard to explain to a 2 year old that he cannot eat breakfast or have any milk. But he did a good job and did not complain too much! He was once again a great patient. He went with the nurses and came out of the surgery very well. He was a little sore, but very happy once we let him eat and drink. He watched Caillou on our way home and I made him a strawberry shake that evening and he really enjoyed the special treat.
