Why do's I gotta cry, Mom?































After surgery, Hudson's first thoughts were of the food everyone had promised him. He had gone 2 days on a clear liquid diet and now he was ready to cash in on some real food. The first picture is Hudson reminding dad of his promised food. The nurses had promised Goldfish crackers and apple juice and that was great because that was his favorite treat. However, as seen in the second picture, Hudson is upset because he can't quite get a hand on his Goldfish crackers because his hand is wrapped really big to prevent him from pulling out the IV. In the third picture, Hudson can't stop crying (poor baby, he looks so pathetic.) and he asks us over and over, "Mom, Why do's I gotta cry?" The side effects of his anesthesia made him really emotional and everything made him cry. The recovery room was one big room with 15 other crying kids who were all struggling with the same problem. It was somewhat funny when Hudson would stare at these crying strangers who all seemed to be sharing his problem. Hudson would then ask us, "Mom, Why do's they got-sa cry too?" Then he would start crying because he felt sorry for their situation! Goldfish were going everywhere but into Hudson's poor mouth and he didn't want any help. Finally he figured it out and managed to get a few in his mouth. He then demanded another bag of backup fish crackers for when the first bag was gone. All the sugar made his BP and heartrate jump for a few minutes, but the nurse assured us all was well after watching it closely. Hudson was up and running an hour later. He wanted to get back to the hotel where he knew there was a suitcase full of presents!
