Here we are, about 21 hours post surgery, its 5:15 AM, Easton is sleeping pretty peacefully, Luke is asleep, and Im sitting looking through pictures and mourning the smile we just lost, and trying to rejoice in the new smile we will soon see and love.
Its an odd thing, these emotions I am feeling. On one hand I am incredibly relieved to havet his behind us. Glad to have the "first" surgery done, Glad for him we have almost gotten through the first 24 hours wit out incident, so incredibly thankful that we have had no complications, no fever, he is eating well....but I am so sad. Sad that he has to endure this pain and confusion, sad that the smile he was born with, that beautiful wide smile that I love so much is gone. Mad that this had to happen to MY child, selfishly wishing I had a child that didnt have to go through this. And all the while unbelievably humbled by all the prayers and words of encouragement we have received in the last few days.
If all continues to go well we will be released this afternoon, we plan to spend one more night in a hotel here, then head home tomorrow morning. One reason for that is so that Luke and I can try and get a little rest before driving, and also to be close just in case something happens.
Its been an emotional day. I think I've handled it pretty well, I have had two breakdowns but Ive been able to keep myself together for the most part.
At this point I'd just like to fast forward time a couple of weeks to get Easton past the pain and have my happy boy back in the full swing of life.
What a blessin he has been. What an incredibly strong little guy he is. It really is true, children are so resilient and strong. God bless him
