Jay and I are home! He is doing really well. He gets a little fussy when he pees sometimes, but most of the time he is really happy.
He got to eat regular peas when we were in Olin. He thought those were the best! We also tried some regular corn, but we didn't like that as much.
Before Jason came to pick us up, he stopped at a friend's house to pick up a box of toys. Most of the toys make noise and light up so Jay is enthralled with most of them. There is even a car dashboard toy that we are making a car toy. I wished Jason had said something before we left Olin. Jay could have played with it on the way home and made him a little less fussier. Oh, well!

Hooray!
Jay got his catheter taken out today. He squirmed while they cut the stitch holding the catheter in place, but that was it. He didn't cry at all. He is such a brave little boy!
The doctor said he was healing well and that everything looked good. He still isn't allowed to take a bath, but we can use the shower to wash him. I think that will make things a lot easier.
We go back in six weeks for a follow-up. We don't know the date yet, the hospital should call us next week with a day and time. I'm hoping for a Tuesday, but we'll see.

Update
Jay has been doing really well since his surgery. We have figured out that if we don't pin him down while changing his inside diaper, he doesn't get as fussy and there is a lot less crying.
Tomorrow he goes to the doctor to hopefully get his catheter taken out. It was supposed to be two weeks, but the surgeon is gone next week and she thought it would be better to take it out early than risk complications in taking it out late.
I will be grateful once it is taken out. Less diapers used, less apprehension in changing and better sponge baths! Not to mention no silica inside diaper stuff to have to deal with anymore.
Jay is as happy as ever and is trying to pull himself up and stand. He does a pretty good job of it already.
Jay will have one more doctor appointment to make sure everything has healed correctly. It should be about six weeks from tomorrow.
