Recovery and jamming to some music

Lucas had his surgery to repair the TE fistula on Wednesday.  I was nervous about it because it is a very serious surgery, but I had prayed a lot and felt that God gave me a sense of peace about it.  I felt like it was going to be ok.  Wednesday morning I got the hospital early that morning and sat with Lucas and told him how proud we are of him and that he was going to do so well during surgery.

The surgery team came up to the room around 11 that morning and got him prepped and ready.  They let me walk with them down to the surgery area and I got to pick out a stuffed animal for him.  I got him a teddy bear and took it back to his room.  I waited in Miller's room while they did the surgery and next thing I know they are calling me telling me that he did great and was on the way back upstairs.  We are so proud of our little Lucas!

Thursday I walked into Miller's room and see this-

Miller had a radio in his room and was jamming out to some country music.  It tickled me.  I think he liked it too because he was very calm that day.  Our nurse said we could bring some CDs in for him to listen to.  We will most likely have to buy a CD for him since I'm sure he won't be calm listening to the type of music that Tom likes.  I have discovered a lullaby CD set called Rockabye Baby which is lullaby renditions of classic rock.  Maybe Miller will like some lullabies to Queen music.

The boys got their first round of vaccinations this week.  Miller had another eye exam and passed with flying colors again.  They didn't do Lucas' eye exam since he is still recovering from surgery but they expect his to be good too.
