Surgery Day!

Today is a bitter sweet day. Carter finally got his birth mark removed. I Hate to see my son in pain but I am so glad to get it done and taken care of. His surgery was at 7:30am on March 25th 2011. We pulled into the Dr. Office and Carter told me "that he didn't want to go to this Dr today". My biggest worry was having the nurse take him away to the surgery room because i knew he was going to FREAK out. We asked them if either Greg or I can go back while they put the gas on so he would feel a little comforted. He still FREAKED, he held onto the door frame and yelled I don't want to go in there I want to stay out here. We got him in and gave him the gas and he fell fast asleep. The Dr was hooking up his iPod (I guess they jam out during the surgeries) they put on Barney music for Carter. The Dr said that this was a first for his operating room. We took him to a cosmologists office (which was where we were referred too) I felt really good about this doctor I think he did a really good job for Carter. After I laid Carter down I went back in the waiting room where Greg was. I was crying ( of course) it was so sad to see my precious little baby/big boy laying on the operating table. It only took about 20 min and then we got to be there when he woke up. He was drowsy and sad. We sat there for maybe 10 min and were out the door. On our way home Carter was cranky and mean( I really don't blame him) Carter said " that Dr's office isn't very fun". I am SO glad this is all over I feel so bad for parents that have to go through tons of serious surgeries. We have been through a lot with this little guy but it is all worth it I love my little Carter boy so much. I had a sad moment in the car on my way home. The radio was talking about a family who just lost there one year old. They dedicated "angels among us" by Alabama to them. The water works were flowin again. It really made me think how GRATEFUL I am that all we had to go through was a surgery. I Can't ever begin to image the pain that they are suffering. Carter seems to be feeling really good we go in next weeK for a follow up visit.

I don't have any pictures because Carter didn't want any taken (I took a few but not any good ones).
