48 Hours later...

Braxton was happy as a lark this morning! Probably because he got his epidural taken out, his oxygen off, and his IV out! We are dropping cords like flies! I had to do his hair so he looked good layin there. hahaThis is his surgery site...The little wire lookin thing is his epridural before they took it out. I watched that too and didn't faint! I might be getting better with the whole squeamish thing!
This was this morning when they took his bandage off! Let's just say that the doctor underestimated how big the incision would be. When he explained it he help his hand up and showed us an inch tops on how big the cut would be...looking at it now its about three times that big!! But it all looks good! haha *Sorry for the noncensorship in the pic. I guess a little bootie never hurt anyone.



As soon as they rebandaged him the Neurosurgeon gave us the go ahead to finally hold the little man! Talk about torture...I have never gone even close to five hours without holding Brax! That killed us not being able to hold and snuggle him!

Right when I held him he was just so happy. He was smilin up a storm. I think he missed it too! ;)


Love you Buddy!
The dynamic duo back together again! Braxton was so happy to be with his dad! They have way too much fun together. haha



He is now sleeping in his bed...I think it was a lot of excitement in one hour. haha The doctors were really positive about him likely going home in the morning! Cross your fingers! :)
