Surgery

Surgery went well yesterday. Jaxen had gangrene of the appendix, and it perforated. So, he is stuck in the hospital until at least Saturday, maybe even Sunday. He is walking around and doing really well.

I think he is surviving fine with the cable channels, movie channels, and all the board games he has been playing with one parent or the other.

He is on a liquid diet at the moment (although in recent developments he was allowed some saltines). He is a hanging in there.

Tomorrow he should be able to start on simple solids. Nothing to heavy.

It is definitely interesting finding good times to go up there. Shaun has been staying over night, it is hard, because as the mom you feel like it should be you...but you can't do it with a nursing baby. Jaxen wanted me to stay tonight...but I think it is just because he dad snores. Shhh...don't say anything. ;)

I'll definitely keep you guys in mind. I'm glad you were in tuned enough to take him to the hospital.

Oh my goodness Monique, you are one strong mamma. Wish we lived nearer, sending love and prayers.
