Jakey's surgery

Somehow my whole blog post about Jacob's surgery got erased. It probably had to do with the video. Anyway, I don't really feel like rewriting the whole thing, but basically we found a hernia Tuesday 7/28 and we took him to the hospital that night. They were going to try to do emergency surgery on him that night because the hernia wasn't going back in, but the complication was that there were no pediatric surgeons on-site. Once we got approval for the transfer to another hospital in the area, he had gone to sleep and the hernia went back in by itself. This reduced the need for surgery, so we had to wait and have it scheduled for Thursday. So, here he is--going in for surgery. He came out of it just fine, he wasn't sick or anything. He was also able to run and play as usual by the next day.

Yikes! I'm glad you all are ok. I'm also curious about the procedure. Annelise was born with a hernia (still has it), and if it doesn't go away in the next 6 or 7 months, she will have surgery. Take care of yourselves!!!
