Little Josh is finally well enough to go home, after being in and out of hospital since December 31. Yay! What a relief. His appendix was removed successfully via laparoscopic appendectomy. Hoping he will make a full recovery over the next couple of weeks.
Even though the surgery was successful, it wasn’t without hiccups. Because Josh’s condition was borderline for surgery, the physician suggested trying medication first instead of surgery. So Josh was sent home on Jan. 1st evening with meds but it didn’t work. Josh was in so much pain the next day, we went back to the ER on Jan. 2nd. He was admitted immediately and scheduled for surgery that night.
Working at the BC Children’s Hospital, this is the first time being in the operating room on a personal basis. The experience was excellent and completely caters to how the children would feel. As the Mother, I was beside Josh the entire time when he was awake and only leaving him in the OR after he’s fallen asleep for the surgery. I’m just happy that he can finally go home. Love you baby!
