We headed to the OR prep room around 7 and went over things with his doctors. He charmed the nurses and played with his little toy and he loved the ride in the bed down to the OR. In true Isaac style, he remarked and pointed to pictures on the walls as we rode down. I think I even heard him woof a few times at Scooby Doo stickers that were on the wall.
Leaving him was probably the hardest part of the day for me. I think in this case today, laughter was the best medicine for me.... Before they took Isaac from us they gave him a medicine to relax him so the separation would be easier on him. I am so glad we had them give it to him. He instantly started giggling and you could tell he was feeling pretty good from the medicine. It was good medicine for Dan and I too, because we knew that he was in good spirits and unaware of what lie ahead of him.
We got a call around 9:30 stating that the orthopedic doctor had begun the bone portion of the surgery. It sounds like this part will take about an hour or two and then they will begin the urological and abdominal parts of the surgery. He was stable and doing well when they began.
Our brave little man.
Thank you to EVERYONE for the outpouring of love, prayers, support and well wishes for Isaac and our entire family. We are amazed by the how many people are supporting us and lifting us up and we can feel it. Thank you so much! Knowing that so many people are lifting Isaac up in prayer gives us peace and comfort as we get get through today and the recovery road ahead.
Jill, that right before surgery med is the greatest huh. We laughed so hard at Kaleb when he got it. I know its a lot to read and there is a lot on your plate right now, we was there just a couple months ago and I understand completely. Just wanted you to know that we are thinking you and and your family and pray for a speedy recovery for little Isaac and get some rest when you can.
