A Rough day for a little man!

Today was the big day.... Poor kid had no clue what was about to happen. He was so cute playing in the waiting area. He was just running around and "talking" having a good old time... making friends with everyone especially the nurses. They just loved him!

What a brave little guy! The nurse took his blood pressure, checked his oxygen level, got his measurements and weight, and of course temp. He was in awe watching what she was doing.

Then came the time to get his little baby scrubs and gown on.

He looked so stinkin cute in his little outfit.

Officially a patient

Kason playing Doctor!

2 hours is a long time for a little guy to wait. He was getting antsy - Luckily they had lots of toys to play with... but when you are a busy one year old that doesn't take up that much time! He was so funny... until he got used to his slippery socks, he would try to take off running and even though there were grippers on the bottom would wipe out! Notice the mark beside his Right eye to mark the eye they needed to work on.

He went through a tough time that he was sick of waiting and he would do his pout thing. Don't worry, his face is on his feet not the hospital floor!

The actual surgery only took about 15 minutes and the Dr. was out letting us know all went well. It took about 30 + min until we were allowed to go see him. I guess it took them a little longer than expected to extubate him (to take his breathing tube out) and for him to wake up enough for us to come back. He was so sad when he saw us and immediately jumped up (as well as he could) for us to pick him up.

The nurse got him some juice and he laid in daddy's arms for the last part of his hospital recovery that lasted another 30+ min. He was pretty grumpy when he actually woke up off and on... can't say I blame him!

His poor little hand where his IV was.

The only way I could get him settled back down was to sing "the wheels on the bus" then he would calm down and sleep a little more. Mommy looks like she had some good drugs too - yikes!

On the way home he was passed out - we transferred him into his crib and didn't hear a peep out of him until I woke him up at 5:30 so he would eat something. Poor guy when almost 24hours with only juice and water!

I'm so glad this day is almost over! Poor guy. He was quite the trooper and did so well. I hope this is the fix to his yucky eye - I don't want him to have to go through this a second time! Thanks for all of your prayers and thoughts. He came though everything just fine and he's acting more like himself now and just ate a GREAT dinner - little man was hungry!
