Brayden Sunday morning before we left Chicago. He did great on the 8 hr car ride home and surprisingly he only slept 30 min of the car drive. He was busy playing on the ipad and watching movies.
He was happy to be home again! Brayden has been doing great and hasn't been having any pain meds for the past few days. I can't believe how fast he is recovering and running around like normal already. Which is not a good thing when he is suppose to take it "easy" for 3 whole weeks.
Last night to keep him from running around I took him and baby brother, Bentley on a bike ride. They both love it!
We are doing dressing changes once a day now and every time we open it up, we are nervous what we might see. So far this is our only problem area. It's red where the stitches meet up. We are praying his stitches hold together and we have no huge issues with healing like last round. We are also changing his 3 drainage tubes every 4 hours for 10 days. The other day when we were changing them, Brayden looked down and asked if that was apple juice inside the tube. I told him no, it's blood honey. He then started crying and told me he doesn't want to be sad anymore, he just wants to be happy. I told him he's a brave boy and he doesn't need to cry and he can be happy. Some of the things he says, just breaks my heart as a mom.
Since surgery, every we pull down his undies or he goes pee and we lightly touch his pee pee, he screams bloody murder. We couldn't figure out why it hurts so bad. So today I gave Dr. Bauer a call and he said that pin is caused from swelling in his pubic area from surgery. He has lots of fluid around that area right now an it will start to go down each day and he will start to feel better. I was glad that is all it is, but man is it painful for him.
