Jack is on the mend

Jack had his surgery today and it went very well. The technical procedure was "repair hidden penis" and "repair bilateral hernias". Basically he was re-circumcised and his fluid hernias were repaired. Despite our intubation fears, he went through surgery without a hitch and is now sleeping peacefully. The poor guy is still feeling out of sorts, but he is on a good combo of Tylenol and Motrin, so with some sleep and extra hugs he should be feeling back to normal within a few days. Unfortunately he can't have a tub bath for 5 days and no jumperoo for close to 3 weeks. He doesn't have any sutures to be removed, which is nice and although the area is tender and swollen, his diaper helps protect it so he can move around freely. We see the doctor Monday morning because of some swelling concerns, but otherwise all is good.

Maggie enjoyed her alone time with Granny and Gramps. Looks like she might get another night with them, depending on how Jack is feeling when he wakes up from his long nap. Could be a long night of cuddles or he could be Happy Jack and all smiles.
