One year ago today we were being discharged from the hospital for Caelum's kidney surgery...it seems so long ago yet, seems like it was yesterday too!! He has definitely been a trooper and strong little boy in just his first 2 years of life. And I know we are given things to go through to help someone else when they are going through it. And it proved so just this week at work as I had a patient who was 2 months old and who is having some urology "tubing" issues and will be undergoing surgery once she turns 3 months old. It is totally a scary thing for any person to go through any sort of surgery and really scary when it is your own kid who is so young and seems so fragile (when they are actually so strong at such a young age!) So thankfully I was able to use Caelum's experience to help another family of a young child to let them know it is oh so scary but it is will be oh so ok!! Thank you Jesus!!!
This was after surgery and recovery.
The day we got home from hospital.
The day after surgery with his cute little swollen face from being overloaded on fluids (even after I told the nurse I think he is getting to much fluids! - Ha, but what do I know!)
