Hudson has been having some serious issues with his digestive tract. If you remember, Hudson was taken by Life Flight when he was 2 yrs old to a Children's hospital in Spokane. They were concerned that his bowel had ruptured. After 5 days in the PICU and many tests, we decided to take him home and continue the testing from there. However, after returning home, Hudson seemed to be better. Things were great for a few years and then in the past year he began to have the same issues. (I won't go into them on the blog for his sake) Anyhow, it was decided that we needed to have a quick look around inside. The findings made us overjoyed because our biggest fear (Cancer) was not found. We are now deciding what to do about what they did find. (*It's nothing life threatening. Just something he will deal with for the rest of his life. We are looking into ways to make it easy for him to deal with.)
In the first picture, Hudson is a little concerned, but he has his blankies (Bow & bow 2 & new blue bow) and he is thinking about the food he will soon be able to eat.
In the second picture, Hudson is still smiling. (Although, he hates the hospital PJ's he had to wear.)
The Third picture is Savannah playing nurse to Hudson.
The fourth picture, Hudson is being wheeled to the surgery room.
Last picture, It's lights out! Although it didn't really go that quickly. Hudson got a little panicked when they put the gas mask on his face. We requested they do that before starting an IV. We thought this would make things less scary. We thought wrong! Now Hudson keeps asking why I pushed the mask down on his face? They allowed me to stay until he was asleep and I tried getting him to accept the mask, but he wouldn't fall for any tricks. So the process was very disturbing to both Hudson and me.
