Well, it's done.

Dylan's circumcision went well. They gave him a mask to help him sleep and then started an IV so he didn't feel any pain to that point. His surgery took about an hour. He woke up from the meds grumpy so they gave him some morphine. He was so out of it yesterday, but by 11pm he was acting a bit better. He's still sleeping and I'm off to check on him.

I'm glad to read its over and I'm sure he'll be doing just fine. Don't beat yourself up, being circumcised is good in the long run. I have done a lot of research on circumcision and thought this would help;
