As many of you know, we have had a very stressful and long last couple of days. Luke was diagnosed earlier this week with a peri-rectal abscess (fortunately he is too young to be embarassed by this!!) and we ended up being sent to Texas Children's hospital for surgery Tuesday afternoon. We are so thankful for wonderful and quick medical attention. Luke was in the operating room only 4 hours after arriving at the ER, and the surgery was over in less than 30 minutes. The surgery was successful and Luke is definitely in his way to feeling better, although the abscess still has to continue draining and healing. Luke did great in the hospital, he handled it much better than mommy!! He definitely didn't like being attached to an IV and confined in a hospital crib, but they ended up releasing us late wednesday evening, which was sooner than expected because the wound is healing well. Luke was so happy last night to come home and see all of his toys, he just crawled from one to the next! And even better, he actually slept all night which he really needed (as did Vic and I!). We are so thankful for the support, encouragement and prayers we have had from friends and family, it has meant the world to us! We'll hopefully be posting happier news sunday when Luke turns 1!!!
