Surgery {check}

Porter just after arriving home and wanting his all time favorite thing... Television.

The last thing Porter ate before his 24 hour fast...a tagalong.  He knows how to make us proud.

Here's the brief version shared with me via Aaron since I didn't go into the hospital today.

Porter was a fart for his pre-surgery  exam because he knows nothing fun happens with a doctor around.  His Dad took him all the way back so he would have a friend when they put him under.  Porter's oxygen levels stayed around 100% after anesthesia, showing us once again that having his adenoids removed has indeed improved his ability to breath adequately.  He woke up very unhappy but he woke up!  He was able to leave after only 45 minutes in recovery, a new record.  Previously we've spent 4-6 hours waiting for his oxygen levels to stabilize.  This improvement did not occur to us until everything was happening, we are grateful.  The poor boy is dealing with post anesthesia symptoms like a headache (he said, "hurt" a very difficult word for him so we know it must be significant) and nausea.  The procedure has him bloated since they pumped him full of air and other problems that are not blog appropriate :-/  There were a few minor concerns found but until the biopsy results are in we won't know what the next step is to help ease his pain.

The big picture he did better then we hoped!

Thanks for all the support and prayers.  Special thanks to Randy for going to the hospital in my place and to my Mom for coming to be with me to distract me.  We love you guys!!!
