Our little guy did great. Thank you guys so much for all the well wishes, prayers, emails, phone calls, and encouragement. It really meant a lot to know that so many of you have been through similar situations. The surgery went great and we were actually home by noon which was hours before I expected.
Unfortunately Ephraim is in quite a bit of pain and is in need of constant attention. Brent and I commented several times this afternoon that it felt like we had a newborn in the house again. Thankfully our "newborn" should grow out of his neediness in a week or so. =)
So here's our B-Ro in his new bean bag chair. Sarah and I made a special trip to Target to pick it up after we realized that sitting up just wasn't going to be comfortable for the little man in the next few days.
I think this is the only smile I managed to eke out of him all day long...
B-Ro says, "hey mom...tell all your peeps I said thanks for the prayers...
...now get over here and rub my feet."
HA!

Glad to hear that things went better than planned today for you! You're little guy deserves to be 'babied' for the next few days.
Oh, dollface boy. I'm so glad he's doing well, and you will continue to be in my prayers.
aw i have been thinking of you ALL day, and i'm so glad he's a-ok. wish there was something i could do my friend. you are a super mom, he's lucky to have you taking care of him:) love you.
Oh, you had some serious prayers sent your way today! I'm glad it all went well. What a relief.
You need to see how I linked you in my blog. Can you help that man at all??
So happy to hear that all went well. Our hearts go out to our little-ones. May he heal real fast and hope you all are doing well.
Love to you all...
He bought a tear to my eye. I hate to hear and see little ones in pain. My oldest had surgery when he was six months old so I feel your pain. Glad to hear all went well and he is home. Give him lots of hugs and kisses.

I'm so glad the surgery went well! Hopefully he will be pain free ASAP!
As a mom who has gone through 2 "minor" surgeries for her little man, I totally understand what you are going through. Take advantage of having a baby back for a few days before he decides he's all big again. I am glad things went well.
I was checking all day to see if you would let us know how it went. I am so happy it went well and he is home where he is comfy. I was sending good thoughts all morning. Feel better soon, Big Guy!
Thanks for the update. I'm so happy the little man can put this behind him now!
And bonus on the bean bag - it will be great for newborn shots!
So happy that everything went well & thanks for taking a few moments to update us. :) I love that last shot!
So glad to see your sweet boy did so well today! Continued prayers for a speedy recovery.

Oh, poor guy. He does look so sweet in that beanbag chair, though. Good thinkin' mama! Continued prayers for a speedy healing! Love you all!

I'm so glad it all went so well, but I hate that Ephraim feels so punk! Isn't he the most beautiful punk-feeling boy, though? Feel better, Ephraim!

So glad he's doing well!! I too know how scary hospital stays and procedures are when it's your KID. Hopefully no more hospital trips for the B-Ro. :)
I'm glad everything went well.
Glad to hear B-Ro is great! Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you guys. I know I live 2 hours away but I will be more than happy to help in any way possible.
Love,
Toni
I'm sure he had a horrible, awful, scary, very bad day - so he's due a little extra TLC for a few days. Even when he's cranky he's adorable. Glad it all went well!!
Oh, I'm so happy to hear that everything went well. I don't think I've ever commented before but just had to on this. So glad your little guy is home and doing well.
As I read Jenny's advice (what a gem she is!!!) I couldn't help but get a little teary eyed. I know I'm strange, but it just made me want to hug my babies tight!
He just couldn't be any cuter. I'm glad to hear everything went well and wish him a speedy recovery!
I'm so happy to read everything went well. I hope he's feeling 100%as soon as possible!
I'm so sorry I haven't stopped by your blog since last Friday and missed your trip to the hospital. We had hurricane Ike aftermath come through Dayton and have been out of power for three days. We finally have power but many people in the area don't.
I'm sooooo happy to see the photos of of your big boy. I'm sure it was a very stressful time but what wonderful words you have on your Mama Mondays for others who also have to go through hospital stays. It can be so surreal being in a hospital...something that is supposed to only be in the movies or on TV only. I remember looking a Mike all hooked up to wires and tubes and being in total denial. I can't imagine seeing your child like that.
Looks like your love and strength paid off and the little man will recover quickly. Big hugs and lots of love and prayers your way!
Other happy news...we find out on Friday what baby number two is!
So happy you all are doing well.
Love, The Anderson's
So happy to hear that things went well. Hope he gets back to 100% quickly!!
Feel better soon, little man!!
