We Made It!

Well, we made it through Tristan's procedure without any problems. We went into the hospital this morning a few minutes before 7 and got checked in. The nurses brought us back to the outpatient area where we met with the doctor and anesthesiologist. They explained that he would need a small amount of Tylenol before the anesthesia and then they would give him a small amount of "sleepy gas". The procedure itself would take under 10 minutes and as soon as he was awake they would bring him back to us, all in all about 30 minutes total time. We gave him the Tylenol liquid in the room and within a few minutes he started to get groggy. Then the nurses were ready to take him. Victor and I both gave him kisses and off he went.

After that, it was just waiting. They did have a TV in the room and Victor forced me to watch the British Open (boring!!!), which just made the time go by slower. Within 10 minutes of Tristan leaving, the nurses came back and said the procedure was over and they were just waiting for him to wake up. I gave the nurse his bottle so he could eat when he woke and he was back in our arms in about another 10 minutes. He was awake, but he looked completely drunk! We had to stay about 30 minutes to make sure all was well and then we were released to go home. All in all, it was a quick and easy procedure which hopefully makes Tristan 100 times more comfortable!

Not too sure where he is or what happened

Okay, you know those "drunk" pictures are probably what our boys are going to look like in about 21 years (okay 18) at some UT frat house. But seriously, how sad is that to see a sweet baby in a hospital gown? But his fat thigh hanging out is just adorable. Clinton has some to match! Glad all went well...hope that makes PR easier.

The pictures of Tristan "drunk" are soooo funny! He is still a cutie! Well, it's finally over and I am sure he feels 100% better. As Courtney mentioned, love the thigh action....just like a marshmellow. Hope you guys have fun on your trip next week, so jealous. I am sure it will be great! Love Ya'll-m
