WE ARE HOME!!!!

We finally made it home this morning a short time before lunch. Jackson's surgery went well. We was done Friday around 11am and we had to stay overnight in ICU so his vitals and breathing could be monitored. So between the nurses, the medicine, the other noises in the ICU wing and trying to get Jackson comfortable after everyone left it was a very long night. Plus the fact there are never anywhere for parents to get a few "good" minutes of sleep.
Joe and Brock have been great, they let Jackson and I take a couple of naps today when we got home. Jackson's Nene is going to watch him for a bit tomorrow so the three of us can make our first trip to the grocery store to stock up on soft foods.
He should make a fast recovery. The doctors and nurses all commented on what a great little boy he was and how well he listened and behaved. I couldn't hardly get one of the recovery nurses to turn him over to me after surgery...she said he was the sweetest little boy she had ever had and that Jackson took right to her before the surgery started. I'm very proud of Jackson and how well he did, he is growing up so fast.
I will post some pictures in the morning. I took some NyQuil and it's starting to take effect...I have had a cough for a couple of days and I hope to get rid of it quickly.
Wish us luck tomorrow!

Glad to hear that everything went well. Jackson is a very brave little boy. Try to enjoy the rest of your weekend. We are thinking about you.
