Not what we were expecting to hear!

Well, it is Friday evening and I am laying here in a hospital bed with my sweet boy! He was in surgery for over 3 hours! It was about 10:30 when we talked with the doctor. The news he delivered to us was not what we were expecting to hear, nor were we expecting to stay one night let alone two!! Eli was to be circumcised, have a testicle brought down, and then a hernia repaired! When the doc got in there, the hernia was bigger than expected, and his Vas Deferens in the right testicle was messed up so the doc was a bit perplexed as to where it was going, and if it was indeed attached to the testicle. He ordered an ultrasound for the next morning! He wanted to check to make sure that his bladder and kidneys were normal and that there were no problems with them. Eli had done very well in surgery and we were able to finally get back to the Recovery room to see him. Olivia took it very hard. She was so scared by all of the tubes attached to Eli and all of the monitors beeping around her. When the nurse showed us his genital area, it was swollen and bloody, which absolutely set her off sobbing and crying! Only after he opened his eyes and started to come around did she realize that he was going to be ok!
We were only supposed to be outpatient, however, since the surgery went long and it was already after 10 pm, the doc suggested we spend the night! We finally checked into the room after 11 and at 12:30 Craig and the girls made the decision to stay as well. Eli had had a spinal for pain, and seemed to be very comfy! Because of the anesthesia , his SATS dropped a bit during the night and so a Pulmonary doc was sent in this morning! She insisted that we stay another night to monitor him, and if needed he will need oxygen and a sleep study!! WHATEVER!!! I was so mad I could of ate nails and spit tacks!!! What money making BS!!!! I tried fighting her and she became upset with me! SO..here we are! Another night in the hospital!!! UGH!!!! The good news is that the Ultrasound came back normal, and he also had another chest xray that also came back normal! All I can say is.... THANK YOU GOD FOR ANSWERED PRAYERS & THANK GOD FOR INSURANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
