Surgery Day

Bennett is out of surgery and doing good. He is in the ICU for one night so they can manage his pain closely. The surgeon said the surgery went well and we will have to just wait to see if it cleared up his airway as much as we needed to get his trach out in the next couple months. So just more waiting.

But right now we are concentrating on getting him through the next couple days comfortably. He is a strong little man and seems to be acting tough.

He sure seemed excited with the early morning field trip and was happy getting carted around and talking to everyone in the check-in process... Here are some pics of our morning...

During check-in Elmo got a name badge too so that he wouldn't get lost in the shuffle. They all get one toy that goes to surgery with them.

Bennett hates his gown because it looks like a dress!

The nurses put Elmo in one too so that he doesn't feel so bad.
