Recovering and he's walking!

Well I did end up having the surgery on Thursday night. We found out Thursday morning that they could get me in so we went to the hospital & waited all day to have the surgery. I was an add-on so I was put off & put off until 7:30 that night. It was such a long day & my anxiety kept getting worse as the day went on. They took me back at 6 & I waited outside my surgery room for a while but they were just kidding cuz my Anesthesiologist had to take care of the patient before me cause he was having troubles breathing. So they took me back to Bryan & I waited again. When they took me back at 7:30, I really didn't know if they would do the surgery right then or if I'd have to wait. Luckily I didn't have to wait. It was the weirdest feeling when I woke up cause I felt all that pressure. I really did think someone was kneeling on my chest. I really wanted to go home right away but they make you cough & pee before you can leave so that took some time. We didn't get back home till 5:30 Friday morning. My poor mom was with Aidan all day Thursday & stayed overnight. Thanks mom! Recovery was hard cuz you don't realize how much you use your stomach muscles just to get up & down. I did have both moms come on diff days to help me & Aidan. The hardest part was not holding Aidan or playing with him!
Aidan has been walking like crazy. He just decided to start walking across the room on July 15th & he hasn't stopped. He doesn't fall down or anything, he just waddles to where he wants to go & sometimes he even runs! It's so fun to watch!
