Daniel's Surgery

October 21, 2011 Daniel had surgery, again. Yep, 6 surgeries in less than 6 years! Can we say he is a superstar or what!?!? This little boy has been through so much, and despite all the challenges and trials he endures, he continues to prove to all of us just how strong he is!! Because lets face it, in my 29 years I haven't been through half of what this 5 year old has! But he continues to teach me everyday and each day I gain a greater knowledge of why the Lord has blessed me with this little angel!



This was the first time we got to see him after surgery....this part always breaks my heart.



The first hour in recovery was VERY rough, he woke up very aggresive, and we couldnt manage his pain so they baically  "overloaded" him with drugs in recovery, and so with that he basically slept the next 36 hours, but due to so many medications in his system, he has some trouble breathing at times (which scared the crap out of me) but when he did wake up Sunday morning, he was back to my little Daniel, happy and ready to eat!

The second night his oxygen kept dropping, and he would forget to breathe at times. Needless to say, I didn't sleep much!


Ready to go home....
We are very grateful that things went as planned, and for all the love and support and prayers! We certaintly felt them! Now we just hope the next 6 weeks go by fast so we can get this little boy walking again!!
