HE DID GREAT! Ryder made it out of surgery about 3 hours ago. He did wonderful! All the kids in recovery were crying, and scared...but our lil' champ was fearless! He was out, until mommy and daddy walked in and he heard our voices, then his eyes popped open and he smiled. He was all full of smiles (as usual!) After about 20 minutes of being in mommys arms he got fussy from the pain kickin' in...then they loaded him up with demerol (sp?). After that point he was all loopy! and full of drunken smiles! Greg and I were dying laughing....then Ry started talking...with this dazed look....it was hilarious. We still felt bad though, cuz we knew the pain would come still.
At this moment, he's hooked up to an IV, and Apnea monitor, and snoozin' away! Greg and I left him in his hospital room alone for now, so he can get his much needed rest!!
Funny thing, while Ryder was in surgery, I got a call from his pediatrician saying we need to schedule his surgery for his mouth issues. Poor guy....and he'll be back here in a month or so again for Barium swallow test, and upper GI test ( to check his swallowing, that its not putting him of danger of passing fluid to his lungs) Anyways so the nurses in admitting said, "bye Ryder see you a couple more times this year!" Greg and I laughed and said "yeah seriously!!!"
He's such a cute boy! all these nurses, and hospital workers, when they see him they freak, and say how adorable he is, esp w/ all his smiles!!!
Dr Bailey said he'll be back to normal in a few weeks....they're giving him tylenol w/ codine. We laugh about that, cuz he timed that one well! he's popping out another tooth right now, and has an ear infection, so the codine will do that good!

I sure could use some of that tylenol with codine for Cory when he has an ear infection. Lucky Lucky!:) I think it is so wonderful how happy Ryder is all the time, it just lets you know what a special child he is.
YEAH! I am glad it is over and that he did so well. He is so stinkin cute!
See, I knew you were great parents! Only the good ones give heavy prescription drugs to their suffering children. None of this natural healing crap! I am glad he made it out ok. I am not excited for his future surgeries, but if it will make life better you have to weigh it out. Still missing you guys. Tell Ryder I think about him all the time! You too Greg, but Ryder is more my type now.
I am SO glad that it all went well. What a trooper! How cute that he was having drunken smiles and talking...he is such a cutie!
Glad all is well with Ryder and that his little surgery went well. Hang in there, you two!! You're AWESOME!!
dang! We need to keep in better contact. I am glad to hear that his surgery went well. Those drugs ofr him must be pretty intense
Kira...I had no idea he was having surgery, poor guy! Im glad it went good though. Is he home now or is he still in the hospital? Do you need anything? Do you want me to bring you dinner? Let me know. Id be glad to!
So glad the surgery went well, that sucks though to already be having to schedule another surgery. What a champ he is!! Love the pics. He's cute no matter what, even drugged up. :)
