Let the breathing begin

Mike and I checked in to the hospital this morning at 9:00am for his surgery. We were taken to his room and he was instructed to change into the lovely hospital gown that was provided. Needless to say Mike was not happy to change but did as he was told.

By the way my camera was on the fritz so most of the pictures look a little funky. After changing it was time to wait for the nurses to come in and ask their questions and then get the good drugs from the anesthesiologist. So we waited and waited and waited and finally at 11:30 the drugs were given and Mike headed to the OR. But to pass the time I took it as an opportunity to have a few pictures taken.

A kiss for my brave hubby

Mike's surgery was not very long at all it took them about 30 min to do the procedure and then Mike was in the recovery room for an hour and then he was wheeled back to me. As soon as I said hi and gave him a kiss he looked up at me and said, "I feel ten times better than last times Bebe's and I can breath!" This was SO nice to hear I was so fearful that Mike would be miserable again and we would be in for another week of not being able to breath. But thankfully it looks like all the prayers helped immensely. The nurse then told me I could go to the pharmacy and pick up all his meds that he would need for the next few days and weeks. So off I went to the basement to load up on pharmaceuticals. When I got back about 20 minutes later Mike was still doing great and we were told we could go when Mike felt ready.

Mike was ready to go so I helped him get back into more fashionable clothing and were off to let him go recover at home. Mike is doing great and I couldn't be more happy to hear that he is feeling better even with tubes in his nose. I will keep you all posted on the next few days but feel free to call him and chat with him
