Back home

Success!  We were able to come home yesterday, and the last 24 hours at home have gone fairly well.  Titus was understandably upset coming out of surgery, but they were willing to give him all the pain meds we asked for in recovery, and Titus even talked a little to us in between bouts of crying.  The nurse we had on the floor was very quick once we got up there and really stayed on top of his pain management.  We were discharged the next morning, and once Titus had the IV out (he didn't like being tethered), he was almost back to his normal cheery self.

Now we just have to make it through the next week until the sutures come out, and he'll be set for a few years!  Liz is already talking about when she will get to stay at the hospital and have an "ouchy lip."
