During our time waiting, Shaun made a new friend, Zac.We also met up with a long time friend of Alisha's, Lori, who lives close Charlottesville. It was great to meet her as now we have somewhere to stay if we need in the future! God is good.
We took Shaun back for the procedure and while waiting there the ophthalmologist we saw the week before just happened to stop by. I made sure with him of the appointment that we have next week (which was scheduled wrong~ Yea, God! again) and Shaun jumped into his arms as to say "I remember you!" Dr. Scruggs loved it and I assured him he was back on Shaun's good list.
They then took Shaun back for the MRI and we left to get something to eat. They were not going to put him on a breathing tube but just a mask unless it was necessary and when the doctor came out, he said that it had been necessary and Shaun had a slight reaction to the anesthesia causing him breathing difficulties and irregularities so they had to tube him. We then spent some time in the PACU as they wanted to monitor him before we traveled home. We had some great nurses and it was fun to talk to them. They all thought Shaun was a ham. He ate and ate, and then ate some more! It was fantastic! Finally we departed for home around 8:30 and ended our trip at 11 (12 hours later).
Next trip to UVA~ March 21....
What a trooper Shaun is! And, how kind of Alisha to support you through that really, really long day.
