We see the light!

Things are improving and we couldn't be more thrilled. Squirt is still having a tad bit of trouble sleeping but a good dose of Benadryl and taking him off of his crazy meds is helping.
I'm going to skim so here is the gist. At the beginning of the week with Squirt, it was the awful. We couldn't console him and he wouldn't sleep. None of us were doing very good. So I call the urology office and ask them for help or if they give out baby Ambien. I was told this was a behavioral issue and not to give in to his whims. Ummmmmmm....excuse my language, but %^&* You, lady! I was in no mood to hear a stupid response from yet another urology person. Good to know some things don't change no matter where you go. I make the call to my peds office and the triage nurse wants to have him seen before we call it behavioral. Love them! We go over everything and it figure out it could be the med Ditropan for bladder spasm. It cause all sorts of fun things like hallucinations, insomnia, constipation and on and on. We take him off and give him a nice helping of Benadryl and we have our boy back....94% of him anyway. I owe Betsy and Dr. Bacon some cookies.

These are some pictures before Squirt went into surgery. I didn't take any after because he had a hard time waking up. I now wish they would have let him sleep a few weeks.

Poor baby...breaks my heart that he's been through so much.

And that nurse to say not to "give into his whims"...UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd like to smack her!

Hope he's feeling MUCH better.
