Ian's surgery lasted longer than than expected (almost 2x as long) because his hernia was bigger than they expected or had gotten bigger since the surgical consultation, so I was very glad we had the surgery done sooner rather than later! The doctors and nurses were wonderful. They let me go into the operating room and put Ian under with gas before starting the IV, so there was no fighting over that (he hates needles). The anesthesiologist gave him a very small amount of an extra sedative before waking him up so he didn't get all adjitated from the anesthesia as he was with his other surgeries. I had to sneak a picture of him in his hair covering when he was still asleep because he wouldn't let me take one when he was awake.
