On the other side of surgery and feeling alright

Daddy helping him get in his surgery gear...

When they brought him back to us... snuggling mommy and his Aunt Pam blanket...

Enjoying his special surgery day toy... feeling ok...

Playing for a second before the codine kicked in and he fell back to sleepy land in mommy's lap... the Spiderman balloon was definately the best part of his day.

Bennett is doing great. He went into surgery around 8 am and we didnt see him until around 12:30. He has been really groggy but is sleeping soundly now and seems like he will wake up a little bit more of his normal playful self.

As we were getting ready he definately seemed to be a little more nervous and seemed to know that something was up... he cried all the way to the OR and broke my heart as they put him under. He seemed to do pretty well with waking up and was brought down to us snuggled in a nurses arms.

He wants to be held ALL the time and I must admit I am selfishly enjoying the snuggle time. We have watched Baby Signing Time, his favorite movie, about 7 times through and I am pretty sure the songs will be stuck in my head until he is 10.

His airway is pretty swollen making him not the best sleeper but with luck we will be on our way home in the morning. We appreciate everyones good thoughts!
