the lone kidney..





Keagans surgery was on Friday and everything went really well. He is doing better than expected. We had to be at medical city around noon. He surgery wasn't until 2:30 so Sean and I were concerned about how we were going to pass the time with a hungry baby. After the first check in we had about an hour left until the surgery time. The nurses were amazing and really helped pass the time and calm our nerves. Keagan watched a baby Einstein video and played with a few toys. He looked so cute in his little hospital gown.
The Doctors came in, we said our goodbyes and a hour and a half later he was done!! He was so sleepy! we were moved to a private room where Sean and I spent the night. During Keagans surgery he was given an spinal block to block the pain in his abdomen for 12 hours. In addition to this he received morphine every 2 hours around the clock. I really didn't realize how serious this surgery was. The Dr. told us that the average adult spends 5 days in the hospital after this kind of surgery. We are so happy that he is doing so well!
