surgery day

before surgery.....(note 6:30 a.m.!!)
and.....after surgery.


The poor guy looks scared to death. I'm sure in his mind he is thinking...I thought this was going to be fun???
But he did so good. And if I can brag just a little on this guy, the nurse said they have NEVER had such a good 5 year old that was so polite and handled the pain so well. The nurse would say, "you're doing so good Jack!" and he would weakly respond.."Thank you"





Jack did however enjoy the non-stop cartoons he got to watch.




And home again. William wants so badly to play with Jack....and Jack just looks at him.




Right now we are just trying to control the nausea. He has thrown up probably 12 times today. But who's counting? For sure it is from the anesthesia...but he's not able to keep his pain medicine down. So he is trying another medicine for the nausea...hopefully it will that will work.
Because I really don't want to have to put the medicine in the other end.
