Update

Colin is doing fantastic...we rested all day yesterday (Mom and Dad included) and he ate lots of popsicles and even managed some toast and soup for dinner. He was exhausted and went right down to bed. I slept in the room with him and around 9:00 we gave him some heavy duty tylenol and I didn't hear from him until around 3:00. He was really tossing and turning, not crying, but that is just about when the medicine would have been wearing off so I gave him regular tylenol and he slept until about 7:00...we did "quiet" activities today, lots of books, painting, sticker books, etc. and of course TV which can certainly be a lifesaver sometimes :)...He ate a huge breakfast, poor little guy must have been starving and has done just great. He even wanted to ride his bike and play football, so I am assuming he is not in any pain, and he's been on consistent doses of tylenol every 4 hours. It's amazing how resilient kids are...and I am so grateful that it was just a little hernia, after spending time in the waiting area with other families, one couple from California whose little baby girl was undergoing cardiac surgery and was on a heart and lung machine, I am just so grateful it was what it was and that he is doing so well. Hopefully it stays that way!
