Upon Further Inspection

In the light of day, I began to piece together what had happened during the surgery, since no one that was there for the entire surgery came to tell me how things went with anesthesia. The first clue that told me it was hard for them to find a vein was the fact that Cannon had a band-aid on his head because they had to run the IV from his scalp.

Next, I noticed some bruising on his little wrist. I began counting all the little needle pricks in his hands and feet, the attempts to find a vein, and my heart broke yet again for my sweet little baby.

Our sweet neighbors in Sunnyside, had this gift delivered to our room. Cannon enjoyed watching the balloon move around and his feet love the little slippers that they sent. Thank you!

Nattie, I just wanted to tell you that I love you and although I've never met him, I'm pretty sure I love your precious little boy too. You are a GREAT mother and I'm in awe of your strength.
