Cooper's Surgery



What a long day thrusday was! Primary Childrens Hopital (PCH) is where he had the surgery at. The hospital moved his surgery time around 3 times. Twice on Wednesday and once the morning of the surgery. Sorry but what a joke that is! We were walking out the door and they called to move the surgery back another hour. Anyway our check in time was at 11:30 and the surgery was scheduled at 1 pm. I was amazed at how fast that hour and half went by before I was giving him a kiss as the nurse took him away. After speaking to Dr. O who said the procedure would probably take three and half to four hours long we were ready for the wait to begin. After three hours of entertaining oursevles the nurse from the O.R. called and said everything was going well and that it was still going to be a couple more hours. BUMMER! Our butts were already getting flat at that point. So we waited, waited some more and finally at 6:30 pm the surgeon came out! YEAH everything that he wanted to get done in this surgery he got done. It took longer because his curvature in his penis was more extreme that the doctor thought. Dr.O said that he did everything they possibly could to straighten it out!! Cooper was drugged but awake when I got to got back and see him in post-op. He was starving so they gave him glucose water. He ate two of them like they were nothing! After he left post-op it was only another half hour and we were discharged. Unfortuantely it was 8:30 by the time we left and 9pm when we got home! Needless to say all of us were tired.
