We arrived at Mercy Gilbert Hospital at about 6am in the morning and Dane was fortunately in good spirits, considering that he doesn't usually wake up until around 7am. He was cheesing it up with all of the nurses and having a grand old time getting pulled around in the wagon, pushing his stroller, playing with his car, and playing in the crib.
Then we went back to see him in the recovery room and he was ballistic!!! I guess, it is a normal reaction that babies have when they come out of anesthesia, but he was like nothing I had seen before! Completely inconsolable, flailing, screaming, and arching his back. The poor nurses looked absolutely panicked! Ben and I did everything we could to soothe him and after about 5 minutes or so he calmed down...thankfully! The poor little guy had bloody ears and I could tell that he didn't feel well. So, we hurried home and put him to bed. Here he is in the car after the surgery (these pictures make me sad):
After his nap, he seemed to be doing much better. However, he has been going through some GI issues (on and off constipation) for sometime now and we are really suspicious that he may have Celiac Disease. So it seems like one aliment after the other with this little guy, but we are seeing a Gastroenterologist November 3rd so hopefully we will get him feeling 100% better soon. We love our little Daners so much and will do everything we can to make sure that he is healthy and happy!
