Amazing!

So Rhett had surgery yesterday and it went well.  Still recovering but doing better.  But I have to tell you what happened...

We were suppose to check in at the hospital at 7:15 am.  Yes I know they are slightly crazy for starting so early in the morning.  Well we were trying to figure out what to do with all the other kids since heck we have more than one. LOL  So my husband decided to make sure that Nikole got to school and Gavin and Dylan to the sitter.  Than after he was done doing that was going to meet us at the hospital.  So Rhett and I arrive at the hospital at 7:15am, WOW we made it on time!!!  We check in (we meaning I).  Rhett of course goes straight for the video game and figures out how to work it after begging me to help and me not helping.  But there was a few other kids like there normally are.  I talked to some parents while we were waiting since it is boring to just sit there in silence.  When they finally called Rhett's name we walked back and got all of his info.  As I am doing all of this I am still trying to get a hold of someone at Dylan's School since they had sent home all his diapers and I was thinking that he didn't have school and the buss driver said that he did have school.  Well daddy decided that Dylan is just not going to school and dropped him off at the sitters and headed to the hospital.  When daddy got to the hospital we were still in pre-op and Rhett had just finished getting dressed into his lovely hospital gowns.
So then the wait begins... Oh wait it never ended. :(  Oh well I think that we spend most of our lives waiting.  Maybe we should be used to it by now. LOL!!  We head to the waiting room that is right before the OR and as we were sitting down we were trying to decide if Rhett should get the versed.  He decided against it this time and than we choose our seats across from this cute little girl and her mom and a family friend.  The little girl is 5 and was playing games with the friend that came with her mom.  Rhett of course sat down and went straight on playing while he talked with the girl, and found out that she has 3 other siblings, and that she lives in Roy plus she had to be there at the hospital at 6:45 am.  YUCK that is early!  They went on playing their games and I talked with the mom and found out that her doctor had needed to bump her an hour so she had a wait ahead of her.  I have had that happen with the boys so I could understand where she is coming from.  As we are sitting there talking the doctor that is going to work on Rhett comes back to talk to us.  The nurse was there to have me sign a paper and the anesthesiologist was also standing there waiting to talk to us too.  Then after we went over everything with the doctor and the anesthesiologist Rhett was ready to walk back to the OR.  This was the first time ever that he walked back and did great.  Made me want to cry as I gave him a hug and told him that I would see him later as he walks through these doors that mommy is not allowed past.  He just walked away and it hurt so much watching him so I had to turn and not look.  We made sure that the waiting room knew that he was in the OR and then we went to breakfast.  When we got back we found a couple of seats and wait some more.  I saw that we were sitting behind the mom and the friend that we sat across from in the pre-op room.  We hadn't waited too long before the doctor that had worked on the little girl came and talked to the mom.  When she was able to go back and see her daughter I told the friend that they didn't have to wait that long.  She was like you are right which is great since it was an out patient surgery.  She then told us that Rhett was amazing and she really appreciated that we had sat across from them before hand.  The little girl was nervous and scared and Rhett really helped her calm down to the point that she didn't need any versed.  She told us that you for raising such a great boy and for having him help her.  I was amazed, no one has ever said that before out of all the times that we have been at the hospital.  She left soon after that and we still had to wait.
The doctor came out and told us that everything went well and that he was in recovery. So more waiting.  I am a pro at the waiting game for sure. LOL!  I was able to go back before he went to his room and help in in post-op.  The needed to give him some pain meds and then sent him to his room.  He told me that his throat really hurt and he refused to drink anything for a few hours.  Which for him is weird since normally he is begging for the menu and asking for food.  So we wait and then I got tired of waiting for him to ask for something to drink and eat so I bribed him.  I told him that if he listened to the nurse and do what he is suppose to then he can play some games on my phone and get other privileges.  It only worked for so long.  I told Rhett about helping the little girl but he didn't believe me so I had daddy tell him to.  But he told me and daddy that he thought it was a miracle for him to help someone like he helped that little girl.  He is an angel sent to us from the Lord to teach us something.
He had grandma and grandpa visit yesterday and a phone call from Uncle Brian and Aunt Luz!!  It was great!  Nikole, Gavin, and Dylan all came up and visited Rhett and then went home with daddy.  Gavin had a very hard night since he really doesn't like going to bed without Rhett even when Rhett is home so last night was even harder.  I talked to him on the phone this morning and he told me that he had a hard night and asked when Rhett was coming home.  I told him that I wasn't sure but I was hoping that he could go home today. 
For now that is the latest but I will up date as soon as I can later when I have more info.
