Done with Surgery!

So Lucas had his surgery yesterday morning and everything went great.  We are so happy to have that over with.  It was a very long day, as we had to be at the hospital at 6 am.  So we went down to Utah the night before, after I got off work.  Then left the next morning at 5 am to get to the hospital on time.  So we were all pretty worn out by the time we got home yesterday afternoon.

Lucas did really well the whole time.  I was worried he was going to get upset, but he did great.  They gave him a sedative before they took him back, since we couldn’t go with him and they didn’t want him to freak out.  Well he was pretty funny after the sedative kicked in.  He was extremely happy, and pretty kooky.  But it kept him extremely calm as we handed him off to the anesthesiologist.

Kryssi and I had to then go wait in the waiting room, which was probably the worst part of the whole thing.  But everything went well and we were able to leave the hospital only about an hour after the surgery ended.  Jill was nice enough to keep McKinley, so she brought her to us and we headed straight home.

Lucas is pretty black and blue and this morning his eye was almost swollen shut.  They had to chip off some of the bone to get the cyst out, so it looks like someone punched him in the eye (I’ll post pictures soon).  But he hasn’t once complained about being in pain, so I don’t know if he’s just really tough or just not telling us it hurts because he doesn’t want medicine.  But we are hoping it continues to heal well and that everything comes back negative from the tests.
