Button Surgery

My nerves from his first surgery, last December, to this one vary drastically. This time around I was glad that Kent was able to get work off to come with me, I was glad that we have wonderful friends that kept Ella and Ethan home instead of needing to worry about them in the waiting room, and I was glad that Cannon wouldn't have any new incisions with this surgery. Initially we were told that Cannon would be released right about the operation, but just before the procedure, the doctors told us that they wanted to have Cannon admitted to the hospital overnight for observation. Menkes tends to scare doctors because they don't know what it is and from what they read about it, moments before they meet Cannon, they get scared and nervous. I appreciate their concern and I am thankful that, if needed, they will take extra care of him. Kent and I knew that Cannon was healthy (for Cannon) and that a hospital stay wouldn't benefit him but possible pose danger- with germs and possible diseases. Since Cannon did so well through the surgery and responded quickly after, the doctors agreed that he was strong enough to go home without a hospital stay. Good job, little fighter boy!

Right after surgery.

I'm very tired- I don't think I've ever looked so worn out. Please don't judge :)
