Colton and I headed to Lubbock bright and early last Thursday morning. Colton did great, not a peep on the plane. I was so afraid that I would be the screaming kid lady that I have pretty much complained about every time I fly!! Lucky for me, my son did not scream at all, WHEW!
We landed and had a nice surprise waiting for us, not only did PawPaw David and Nonna come to pick us up, but my sweet little Nana came in for the surgery and she was at the airport as well. It was really great to see her! I was excited for Nan to meet Colton.
We had a nice visit on Thursday night and then came Friday. Dar and David left at the buttcrack of dawn to get her all registered. Nan and I got to the hospital at about 7 30 I guess. Her surgeon was late so we got to go and see her in the holding area. Then time for surgery came.. and we waited and waited and waited. 13 hours later, we finally get to see her. She was in some pain but the real scare is that they found some cartlidge damage when they went in, so she is going to have to decide on another surgery or not.
Another bad thing was it was supposed to be a day surgery, in and out. Well, she could not empty her bladder so she ended up staying for TWO NIGHTS... needless to say, she was an UNHAPPY camper. David was an amazing husband, he took such good care of her, very dedicated and did whatever needed to be done to see to her comfort, not an easy task when she is so dang stubborn and did not take advantage of people waiting on her hand and foot :) She was ready to get out of there PRONTO.
She is home now and doing better. Lots of research is being done on the surgery that they want to do to fix the damaged cartlidge. We will see what they decide.
Aric just fell in love with Colton, he loves that baby so much. What a great uncle!! We were sad that Brit could not make it down but she will meet him hopefully soon!
It was a long trip but I am so glad I got to go and be with Dar during this!! This blog might be a little random but I am exhausted and the baby is crying again... so I best close for now!!
Here are a couple pictures from the trip.
