We're here!

We arrived at 7:15 (per orders) and Maddox went in for his procedure at 1:30. We sat around the waiting room for 4 hours and then waited in the pre-op room for 2 hours.

As frustrating as that was, everyone here has been very helpful, understanding and kind. They helped keep Maddox entertained and he did phenomenally well.

I was able to go with him while he went under and when they heard how nervous he was about the mask, he was able to play with his and rub lip smacker lip gloss in it, and then use it when he went under. I was able to carry him down to the OR. It went as best as it could go. He is my superhero.


Here we are goofing around before heading down. They had me put the gear on early so he was used to me in the clothing.

Right now we are still waiting to hear from the doctors.

Maddox will be getting a "button" (Mickey button) which is low profile and doesn't have any tubes coming out of it. It dies require stitches and he does get another incision in his belly button (ouch), but overall, this will be better. And it's hidden under his shirt, so he won't be hearing "looks like someone fell and bonked his nose pretty good!". I'll update more later.
