The Grant Update

Hi everybody! Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers- yesterday went well and he's recovered beautifully! He's home from school today but not from pain, from a cough that I don't want him to spread. I think its probably half sick and half from the breathing tube from anesthesia

Here are a few pictures of the champ. The first was him before (but after they gave him the woosie/lala land medicine) a nurse had this stupid pig keychain light that he thought was the coolest thing EVER. Only problem was when he woke up afterwards and she- i.e. the pig- wasn't there, he FLIPPED OUT! screaming bloody murder for about 30 minutes because of the *%^& pig, not because of what had just happened! The favorite quote from "before" was when he said the oxygen/pulse sensor on his toe felt like chocolate milk! Thats when we knew the medicine was kicking in...

The second two are from after in the post-op recovery. After he got over the pig thing he got a popsicle and finally relaxed enough to let me read him some books. (shown is Pout-pout Fish which is a current favorite, highly recommended to any toddler moms out there)
