Where does the time go? Surgery, catching up!

Okay so it's been almost a month since I posted. It's been busy around here, what can I say?

Junior had his tubes put in yesterday. He did very well! We weren't sure how he was going to do, and parental worry is what it is.

Here are some photos from our morning. We had to be at the hospital at 0545 and Junior couldn't have a sippy cup prior (he did VERY well with this - surprisingly!)








Junior was un-impressed with the gown we were given for him to wear. We were referring to it as his "dress" :)

Junior was given versaid (sp?) prior to being taken downstairs to the OR. The ride down was interesting (one of us had to "ride" with him on the bed since he had medication) because he was kind of cranky. All of a sudden he just seemed a little loopy. You can tell he isn't quite "himself" in this picture. We were waiting to go into the OR. The nurse was GREAT and he didn't cry going into the OR at ALL!

Post- op: Jr did great. He didn't start crying till he heard me talk to the Nurse in the PACU. The male nurses in there where great too. Jr refused to wear the pulse ox they had taped to his toe. He attempted (and succeeded) at pulling it off a few times.

This picture is when we got back upstairs. Jr wanted to sit with Daddy and watch cartoons. After about an hour of steady vital signs we got to go home.

On the way home, Chris took this picture. As you can see... he was already in a playful mood. He was playing hide & seek with Daddy.

Daddy made all of us french toast, and as you can see Jr enjoyed his (along with his friday morning episode of Seasame Street - yes we were home in time for Seasame Street!).

Post nap, he enjoyed an afternoon of playing in the garage with Daddy and even made a trip to the bike shop and to the auto parts store. By bed time, he was wrestling with dad and being a typical boy!
