Surgery Day

This morning Kayson had his surgery. We got to Primary Childrens and got checked in at about 7:30 this morning. Then after a little wait we went back into the exam room where they checked his vital signs and made sure he was ready for surgery. They had us change him into an infant hospital gown with little pants and socks and it was off to the Pre-Op waiting room. After about an hour of waiting the Anethesialogist came and gave us some instruction then took Kays off for surgery. They started by placing a little mask over his mouth and nose to make him fall asleep. Then the Dr. placed a probe into his absess until it reached is rectum, and cut down to the probe. From there they scraped out the lining of his skin inside to clear the infection. It all went really well and they got it all cleaned out. The worst part of it all so far was him coming out of the anesthesia. The cut is pretty deep and painful, thankgoodness for Tylenol! Here are a few pictures we took throughout.

Here is Kayson at 6:30 this morning before we left.

Kayson and Mommy. He is hungry as can be!!

He finally fell asleep about 10 min. before his surgery. The nurse gave him a Teddy Bear to keep.

Us in the recovery room. This was the first time he had really eaten at all today & that was around 9:45.

He had a hard time comming out of the anesthesia but once it was mostly out of his system we had our happy little boy back!!

In the elevator going home. Once he got dressed and we left the room he was all smiles!

You did so good today Kays! We are so proud of you! We love you!

Surgery Scheduled

Kayson's absess on his bum has not been getting any better so his Dr. told us we needed to go up to Primary Childrens Hospital to have it checked by a surgeon. So my sister and I took him up there today and I guess the absess is connected to his bum therefore the infection can't heal. So they scheduled his surgery for Monday. AAAAHHH poor baby! They are going to have to cut it open and scrape out the infection in order for this to get better and go away. They will be calling us Friday to let us know the time and the instructions for that day. Cross your fingers and wish him luck!!

Summer Time Fun!

Tonight we went up to Todd's sisters house in Ogden for a family BBQ. It was tons of fun getting the family together it even included his sister Keli her husband Jacob and their CUTE little girl Addison in Flordia. We were able to use Skype to talk to them over the internet! Technology is pretty amazing these days. It was really nice to be able to see and talk to them! Tiff and David (Todd's sister and bro. in law) have a big field in their back yard where the neighbors horses roam. It was soo fun to pet and feed the horses. Kayson really liked them!

Todd, David and Zeke feedin the horses Watermelon.

Tiff and David let us borrow their exersaucer. Its 360 degrees of pure fun! Boy does he love his new toy!

He has so much fun with all the different toys until he tries to eat them and they wont move. He thinks yellin at them will make them move.

Thanks guys we had a blast, can't wait to do it again!

Update....

This morning we noticed Kayson's absess getting alot worse. He was getting the runs and really fussy. I took him over to my mom's house where her and my sister Crystal watch him while we are at work. Well my mom called me at work sayin he really wasn't doin well. So Todd and I got off work and rushed over there. Todd and my dad gave him a blessing, then it was off to the Instacare Kidscare to have them look at it again. It was a different Dr. this time and he said it was alot worse than what we had originally thought and that he needed to drain it. AAAHHH So he told Todd and me to hold him down and without even numbing it at all he began to cut it open. I must say this was the WORST thing by far Todd and I have EVER been through!!! He was screaming beyond bloody murder and staring at us like why are you letting him do this to me!! It was AWFUL!!! The Dr. said about 4 teaspoons of puss came out, and it was the size of a golf ball!!!! He said that was worse than most adults!!! So even though I know it had to be done, I still feel so horrible about putting my son through that pain!!!

Here is a picture of his absess after being cut open, drained and packed with gauze!! He has had the runs alot today so the gauze sticking out got poop on it!

There was sooo much blood when he drained it. It filled up the pad below him and got all over his onsie.
Here is his new anti-biotic, the gauze we have to put over it, and we also have to wash it out with Hydrogen Peroxide and water in a seringe.

Kayson is such a trooper even after all he has been through today he still decided he wanted to get down and play. He rolled over from his back to his tummy for the first time!! What a champ! He is deffinately stronger than I am!!

You did so good Kayson we love you!!

Poor Little Guy....

So on friday night up at the cabin we noticed a bump on Kayson's bum. When I changed his diaper he screamed so bad so I knew something wasn't right. Well monday night we took him into Kidscare to get it checked out. It turns out he has an absess on his toosh. Its pretty big and really painful. The Dr gave him some anti-biotics and told us to have a heating pad on it and bathe him in Epsom Salt to help draw out the infection. If it doesnt clear up on its own we have to take him in to get it drained!!! AAAHHHH she said that is the most painful thing they do there!!! They can numb the outside skin but not the inside where they would be packing it!! I really hope it clears on its own cuz I could not handle seein him in pain like that!!! Poor baby!!
