Ben's Surgery

 Ben was so brave yesterday and Kevin & I were so proud of him. 
 Of course he had no idea what was coming. But he had a ball playing around in the waiting room. He looked so cute in his little gown. 
 The doctors just loved him, after the surgery the anesthesiologist came over and told us how he just thought Ben was the cutest little boy. Maybe they do that for everyone but we liked it:) 
 His "cozy blankie" and "dolsin" came with us of course. 
 Surgery was postponed by 45 minutes so we had a lot of time to play in our little room. Ben thought it was great to have all our attention on him. His only complaint was that he couldn't eat or drink. 
 Only one parent was aloud back in the OR so I went. I was just in there long enough to watch them put him to sleep...and for me to shed a few tears of course. Ben did much better than mama:) 
 The dr. was out about 20 minutes later to tell us all was well and about an hour later we got to see the little guy. He slept most of yesterday and has spent today on the couch. 
This is Ben's home for today. He has gotten up a few times and walked around for a minute or two, but then lays back down. We are hoping he'll get some energy back and feel a little better by this weekend. Its no fun to see him feeling so crummy.

Benny does look adorable in that little gown. I hope he gets better really soon.

Glad he's on the mend. Such a tough little cookie. Way tougher than mom and dad:).
