Ben had a little surgery at Children's this morning (something called a hydrocele). He wasn't thrilled when we woke him up at 5:45, gave him a bath with antiseptic, and wouldn't give him any "choc choc" or juice. Other than that, he was a real trooper! He insisted on covering himself in the Cars stickers that Auntie Meg, Uncle Ryan, & Hads gave him in his care package. This boy is too funny!
In his gown and all ready to put under. He was so calm and cooperative about it all. He didn't even make a peep or flinch at all. Mama shed a few tears, but no one else did!
Less than 3 hours later we are home and playing. They said he'd probably sleep all day...not so much. He is playing, keeps asking to go outside, and is so confused why he can't walk. They essentially gave him an epidural so they said he wouldn't be able walk for about 4 hours. He has been crawling/scooting around with his new tractor that was his prize when got home from surgery!
Ben wins patient of the day, at least in our book:)

Glad everything went well! Ben is awesome!!
So glad to hear that he is doing well! Man he is a tough little guy. I for sure would have slept the day off.
Aww, isn't it tough? Those little gowns are so cute! I love children's hospital. Really an amazing place.
What a tough little guy you have. We are so happy that all went well.
Such a brave boy! That's probably why you were teary. I don't think any mom would have dry eyes, so don't feel bad. So glad all went well:). Maybe it was the super power of the Cars stickers?
