Waiting

Well, we got a pretty good nights sleep last night (as good as you can get in a situation like this).  Jacob went to sleep right away, and slept until 5 am before he woke up and then went right back to sleep until about 6 am.  We got to the hospital and he was in a pretty good mood considering his lack of food.  We had to wait a while at the surgery check in and were beginning to wonder if they were going to start the surgery without him.  Finally they came and got us and said they had a delay because they waiting for a room for him in ICU and one finally opened up.  So needless to say surgery did not start until about 1 pm.   He was in a pretty good mood while we were waiting, at least until about noon, and then his mood started to turn.  They then were ready to give him a medicine that made him all smiley and goofy, and then he got very sleepy and I had to say good bye.  That is when it got a bit hard.  I know it was not for good, but it was still hard.  They said they would update us every hour or hour and a half, but the first update didn't come until after it had been 2 1/2 hours.  Boy was I starting to stress.  Finally they called and said all is good and that they were just taking their time and he was doing very well.  At this time we are still waiting for it to be done, or the next update. But I will try to be patient.
