Matthew's Surgery

When Matthew was born, his belly button didn't close off all of the way. We have known for quite some time that we would probably have to have it operated on since it can be dangerous to leave it open (I won't go into details). But I have been nervous to have the surgery. Although Chris told me it was no big deal, the though of putting him under made me so nervous. Well, our pediatrician (I know I have mentioned that I LOVE him and his office) said it was time so we made the appointment. Everyone at Sacred Heart (the same place Maggie was born) was AMAZING and made me feel right at home. It was a simple procedure that only took 20 minutes, but it was the anaesthetic that was more of the process. After we settled in I wasn't so nervous and then they gave Matthew the Versed. This is the stuff that makes him not remember what happened and has the effect of being drunk. Chris and I were cracking up at him because the normal wild man was relaxed and calm:) We had to video it because it was just too funny. I know it is a big grainy because it was with Chris' blackberry but it is pretty cute. He made it through just fine and is acting like nothing even happened! Whew, glad to have that over with:)
