Trick or Treat :) & Surgery :(

Bryson's first Halloween went a lot better than we were expecting! Bryson is NOT a fan of hats or socks & shoes so I was worried how this whole costume idea was going to go over with him, but surprisingly he did great! I got him dressed & we went to go visit my Nana & he fell asleep in the car so I snuck the feet & head piece on him! Magically when he woke up it NEVER once phased him that it was on & he kept it on all night ;)

We went Trick-or-Treating with our good friends The Wilson's, The Clarke's & The Taylor's. We had such a good time & all the kiddos were so cute!

This past Friday, Bryson had his circumcision surgery. Of course Mommy didn't sleep much at all the night before! I had full faith in the doctors & nurses, but it broke my heart to see my baby boy preparing for surgery & in pain. The nurse asked us if we wanted the nurses to take him back to put him to sleep or if one of us wanted to take him. We both agreed it would be easier on Bryson if one of us took him back, but they only allow 1 parent. So needless to say Daddy got nominated for that job! I couldn't bare the thought of seeing Bryson like that or him being put to sleep in my arms! Of course when they told us it was "time" & Daddy took Bryson back Mommy lost it & cried her eyes out! They told us the procedure would be about an hour or a little longer. After Bryson had been back there about 55 minutes they came out & told us they had just got started because they had complications with finding his vein for an IV. She told us Bryson would have a lot of "sticks" & may be bruised tomorrow, but they finally got the IV in & started surgery. Needless to say when we got to see Bryson he was full of sticks!! 4 in one hand, 2 in the other, 1 in his wrist, 1 in each for arm, 2 on one foot, 1 on the other & 3 or 4 random ones on his thighs!! They finally got the IV in on his inner thigh. They wanted us to be in the recovery room before he fully woke up since he was so small & they knew he would be so upset if he didn't see Mommy or Daddy. I couldn't of been more happier when they placed him in my arms! I know I gave him a million kisses & held him tight! It broke my heart to see him hooked up to IVs, but I was just happy to be holding him! He has done so well with it. Friday & Saturday he was very clingy to Mommy, but that was fine by me!! Diaper changes were ROUGH & PITIFUL, but they are getting better as the days go by! I'm so glad this is over & behind us! I hope to never have to watch my child undergo any sort of surgery again!!!!
