Home Today

Well, yesterday Samuel did have some difficulty breathing after surgery. They gave him a breathing treatment before we left the hospital and then we gave him his treatment before he went to bed last night. Poor little guy - lately he has been holding the mask himself, but last night he wanted nothing to do with it and he screamed the entire time. The screaming got so bad that we had to stop and start again 3 different times.
Anyway, Samuel had a good night and then this morning he was not breathing well again so we gave him a treatment and decided that David would go to work while Samuel and I would spend the day at home resting.

No Driving or Operating Heavy Machinery

Samuel is home and all is well. The discharge instructions include that we shouldn't allow Samuel to drive or operate heavy machinery. So, I guess we will have to find other things to fill our time :)
Seriously though, Samuel did very well in surgery. He was taken in just before 7:30 AM and we were leaving the hospital just before 9 AM. He was a little loopy coming off of the anesthesia and just jabbered and giggled. This afternoon we just relaxed and let him have a quiet day. Best news is that likely there will not be any other surgery until possibly after Samuel is around 3 years old! A whole year without a surgery - Yahoo!!!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween this year was lots of fun! We went to two 'trunk or treat' parties and Samuel had a great time. He loved carrying his bag because he really likes putting things in bags...however, he didn't know what to think of other people putting things in his bag!


He also had fun at the 'fishing pond'.
On Halloween we went to the Sea World Spooktacular and Samuel got his piture taken with the "Pumpkin Fish". We went late in the day because we were having record breaking heat so the only show we watched was "Shamu Rocks". Samuel loved it. I enjoyed the show, but even more then then show, I enjoyed listing to Samuel cheer and get so excited with the different tricks that were done.





We also went to the pumpkin patch again this year. We went right before going to Sea World - Next year we will have to remember to go earlier because going on Halloween the patch was pretty much closing down. Still got cute pictuers though!
