Our handsome Preston boy
was scheduled for his cleft repair/rhinoplasty.
Shriner's in Portland was the place we chose.
On the hill overlooking Portland
and the Willamette River
on this beautiful day in September.
We arrived in PACU at 6 am.
Preston was re-checked and given a cute
little gown.
He was interested in the crib
and loved the "call" buttons!
Off he goes into the operating room.
I snapped this picture,
just before the tears started (for me--not him)
All the Drs. & nurses kept commenting on
his happy disposition.
Even happily being carried by the Dr.
The surgery lasted about 2 hours.
We were called down to recovery as he was waking.
He calmed to the sound of our voices.
When I offered, he began to nurse.
We have spent the rest of the day snuggling & rocking,
keeping him comfy and calm.
We are so thankful for the many prayers and support.

So glad everything went well. I hope he has a swift recovery, and what a blessing to be able to nurse him right after.
He makes one gorgeous little patient. So glad everything went well and that it's over! He really is the best baby- I'm not surprised that he was the best baby patient there. What a sweetie. Give him a love and snuggle from me. Hope recovery goes well and he can keep the pain under control. Not surprised that he's still a beautiful boy- no surgery can ever change that!
I'm glad surgery went well and his lip looks great. Wishing you all a quick and speedy recovery.
