Ryan's Back Surgery

Well last Thursday Ryan had his back surgery. My sister and Jayden came down to help me out and to watch Kale so I could take Ryan to the hospital and hang out there with him for awhile. Jayden absolutely LOVES her cousin. She is such a helper to be as young as she is. She picks up on everything. My sister was feeding Kale a bottle and he got distracted and stopped sucking so I tapped at the bottom of the bottle. Jayden watched me and then a few minutes later was tapping at the bottom of the bottle haha it was so precious. Anytime he was laying in his bouncer or swing she would cover him up with blankets that were laying around or his burp cloths. That was really funny. However, I did have to watch her because at one point she tried to cover his face with a burp cloth, ofcourse she doesn't know any better. My sister was such a HUGE help though. Thursday we had to be at the hospital in Thomasville by 8:30 so I had to get my sister out of bed at about 7. I forgot what a pain she is to wake up. I went in there and was trying to be quiet so I didn't wake up Jayden because Taylor was going to lay with Jayden until she got up. Well I tapped on my sister and she would not wake up. So I tapped a little harder and then a little harder. She slapped me and told me to leave her alone. I was like ummmm can't quite do that. I kept tapping her and she kept telling me to leave her alone. I asked my brother to come in there and help me. At that point Kale started crying in my bedroom across the hall. Him crying with the guest bedroom door open woke Jayden up and she started crying. Well that got my sister up. HAHA. But I hated that Jayden was woke up, because that little girl takes after her mommy and needs her rest and if she doesn't get what she needs boy do you know it. I was kind of nervous for my sister because taking care of two babies is some work especially a newborn. I figured I would come back that night to her bald from pulling her hair out.

Well Ryan and I ended up running a little late and were speeding to get to Thomasville by 8:30. We got there right at 8:30. Ryan got checked in and a nurse who came to get him talked me through what they were going to do and about how long it would take. I had to sit in the waiting room and they would call down and let me know when they started surgery and call me with an update every hour they were in surgery. It was a long wait and I was so scared. Well he ended up being in surgery for about two hours. The doctor then came in a room and talked to me about the surgery and everything he did. He was not very helpful and really scared me. Well then I had to wait another hour and a half before I could see Ryan because he was in recovery.When I finally got to see me him he looked so pitiful he had blood on his lips from where they had stuck a tube down his throat. His voice sounded awful and he just seemed so uncomfortable and in so much pain. I started crying. He was so sweet though. He kept telling me how much he loved me and how wonderful I was. I stayed with him for a little bit but then had to get going because we have a son to take care of. I hated that I couldn't stay with him and he was so far away and all by himself. I started crying again about leaving him. I finally left and it was pouring rain. My car hydroplaned about one hundred times. I was so nervous and stressed on the way back. I finally made it back to Valdosta all in one piece. I called my sister and both babies were crying. she would pick up kale and jayden would start screaming. She would put down Kale and pick up jayden and kale would scream at the top of his lungs. I felt so sorry for her, but she was such a huge help. Ryan's aunt and grandma got into town that night too. They got Kale some cute calvin Klien onesies. Haha. He is already in designer clothing at 6 weeks!! They absolutely loved him and just kept talking about how cute he was!! and he is. He is the cutest little boy in the whole world.
