ZACHARY'S EAR TUBES.

THANKS TO PAPA WHO WENT WITH MOMMY & ME.

GETTING READY FOR SURGERY

PLAYING WITH HIS HAT. HE LOOKED SO CUTE BUT KEPT TAKING IT OFF.

SILLY BOY

BACK IN THE VAN.

TRYING TO STAY AWAKE.

MARKS LEFT FROM THE HEART MONITOR.

PLAYING OUTSIDE IN THE WARM(70*) WINTER DAY

THE MARKS KEEP GETTING MORE RED AND HAVE STARTED TO WELT.
THINKING HE WAS ALLERGIC TO WHATEVER WAS ON THE HEART MONITOR. MOMMY IS ALLERGIC TO PLASTIC TAPE AND PLASTIC BANDAGES SO MAYBE HE IS TOO.

ZACHARY DID REALLY WELL TODAY! WE HAD TO LEAVE HOME AT 4:45 THIS MORNING SO HE WAS AWAKE FROM THAT TIME UNTIL ABOUT 7:15 AM WHEN HE TOOK A 30 MINUTE NAP WHILE WAITING TO GO BACK FOR SURGERY. WHEN HE WOKE UP FROM HIS NAP HE WAS VERY ORNERY, HE WAS JUST SMILING AND BEING SILLY. AT ABOUT 7:55AM THEY CAME TO TAKE HIM BACK. THE NURSE WAS PLAYING WITH HIS STUFFED KITTY AND HAD HIS SILKY BLANKET AND HE JUST WENT TO HER AND THEY WALKED DOWN THE HALL AND HE DIDN'T EVEN CRY. AT 8:05AM THE DOCTOR CAME OUT AND TOLD US EVERYTHING WENT GREAT AND THAT WE COULD GO BACK TO RECOVERY IN A FEW MINUTES. THEY HAD TO DRAIN SOME FLUID FROM HIS EARS WHEN THEY PUT THE TUBES IN. WE WERE IN RECOVERY LONG ENOUGH FOR HIM TO HAVE HIS JUICE, THEM TO CHECK HIS PULSE OX TWICE AND TO GET DRESSED AND THEN WE WERE OUT OF THERE. WE GOT OUT TO THE VAN AT ABOUT 8:25AM. HE DID REALLY WELL UNTIL WE GOT OUR ERRANDS DONE AND THEN HEADED HOME. HE SCREAMED AND CRIED FOR ALL BUT 20 MINUTES OF OUR RIDE HOME WHICH HE SLEPT FOR. EVERYBODY TOLD US HE WOULD SLEEP MOST OF THE DAY, BUT HE ONLY TOOK AN HOUR NAP THIS AFTERNOON. THE REST OF THE TIME HE PLAYED AND WAS HAPPY.

THANKS FOR THE PRAYERS!
