Surgery Day!!

We brought our boys in at 3 pm yesterday and admitted them to the pediatric ward. Within the hour they both had IV's in and were being prepped for a bowel clean-out. Luckily we had a good nurse putting their IV's in and we only had to poke them once each. It breaks my heart when they are crying so much! I just had to try to comfort them and distract them the best I could.
They put an NG feeding tube down their noses and started pumping the bowel cleanser in to them around 5. It worked REALLY well! They were filling their bags pretty fast and it was like water coming out of their colostomies. This made the sticky wafers around their colostomies fall off every 5 minutes. So I was having to change bags non-stop from 5-11pm. It definitely made me excited to be getting rid of the bags soon!
After they were done with the bowel cleanse things finally started calming down and we were able to try to rest for about 5 hours on the little couch-bed and chair-bed. SO uncomfortable! I'm not looking forward to sleeping on here for the rest of the week. :(
The surgeon, Dr. Downey came by around 7 to say hi and let us know everything that was going on. Lincoln went into surgery at 8:30 and we just stayed in the room with Alex waiting for Lincoln to be done. 
They let us know around 2 that his surgery was done and we were able to go down and wait for them to bring him out of the recovery room. They normally don't let family members in there but they allowed me to go in and see him while he was waking up. 
He was so groggy and he looked ornery and pale but he seemed to respond to me being there and I was able to calm him down. I felt so bad for him just laying there being confused and probably in pain. He's not in too much pain though because he basically has an epidural and that should last for 12 hours. 
Alex is in surgery right now and should be out around 6. We're just trying to keep Lincoln comfortable and as happy as possible while we wait for Alex to be done.
I feel so blessed with how happy and easy-going our babies are! They keep smiling and laughing at everyone even though they probably don't feel very good with all the medicine being given. They are such cute little boys and I feel so lucky to be their mom!
We have a lot of support and help from our family and friends and I'm so grateful for that! I know that Heavenly Father is watching over our boys and I have faith that everything is going to go perfectly.
