This morning we left at 6:45am to get to Childrens' hospital by 7:30 am for check-in. William was having surgery on his fourth and fifth little toes on each foot to correct them. It was a lateral tendon lengthening procedure to straighten them out. We made it on time and then, of course, you sit and wait. We were finally rolling around 9:30 am when they gave him some "Versed" (spelling?) to "calm" and "relax" him. He promptly turned into a loosey goosey goof ball, laughing, singing and flailing without control. It was pretty hilarious.
We walked him to surgery at 9:45 am and then they took him from us at the door to the surgical suite. He was just looking at us all glassy eyed - so cute! At 11:00 am, we got a call that he was going to recovery and that everything had gone well. He would be able for us to see him in about 15 more minutes. We finally went back and he was still asleep. When he woke, he was MAD and then we got to hold him (which I was more than happy to do!). He has two huge blue casts up to his thighs on now, which does make snuggling a little more difficult. The nurses continued to administer pain medication and we were able to leave around 1:00 pm. He then threw up twice on the way home - oh yippee!
The culprit - see how his toes curl. They were like this on both feet.

Snuggles with Mommy - He is still really out of it!
Take me home! I just want my own bed!
