Post-Surgery, Recovering at the Hospital

We found out just shy of 3 weeks old, that Jackson had Pyloric Stenosis, just like his Daddy. If you are interested in the specifics, look it up. Basically, we knew because he was projectile vomiting and absolutely could not keep anything down, but it wasn't old milk. It was quite an ordeal. They immediately sent us to Portland's Children's Hospital called Doernbecker. They are amazing! We arrived late afternoon on Friday and he went in for surgery early Saturday morning (through his tummy - to the pyloric valve, which is the valve that is supposed to open after your food is done digesting to let it out of the stomach). Everything went well, but it was nerve-racking, knowing that our perfect little baby was going to be put "under" and be cut open... and he would have his first scar... just like his Daddy. Everything went so well. They said that Jackson lost very little blood and that they were extremely pleased with the surgery and his recovery. Poor little boy just slept and slept after surgery and then cried when he woke up because of discomfort. We could hardly wait to leave the hospital so that we could hold him again without a million cords attached to him!
