Day of surgery!

Well we had to be at the hospital this morning by 6:30 to check in. Tavis did great even though he had to wake up so early. The nursed and doctors all said that they have never seen a two year old that was so good he just sat there and let them assess him. Did his blood pressure, all that fun stuff. They recommended that they start an IV and give him some medication to help him stay calm due to the fact that most kids his age have anxiety when leaving their parents. We decided not to because we thought that he would be fine. That way they would not have to start the IV untily he was asleep. So he would not remember it. While in the waiting room waiting for them to take him back he got to ride around a spiderman bike. He loved it! The anesthesiologist let him ride it into the operating room where they were going to do his procedure. It was so cute because we got to go with him most of the way. When they got to his room he turned around on his bike, waved and said "by everyone" went into the room and shut the door. He is such a tuff little guy!

His surgery took about and hour than he went to the recovery room where as you can see he did not come out of the anesthesia very well he was really mad and crying. They would only let one parent come back at this time. So of course you all know it was myself that got to go back. When he got to recovery he had a little bit of a hard time breathing so they had to

put some oxygen on him for awhile. We got moved to phase two where Dustin could come back and my mom came back for a little bit too. He was still really mad and wanted that damn IV out of his hand.
It was all he could focus on. Finally we got to go home and he was so lucky to be able to ride in a wagon all the way to the car. When we got home he slept for about five hours. when he woke up all he

could say is he wanted a burrito and beans. Sad huh? I feel bad telling him no.

Anyways I will keep everyone updated on how his recovery is going.
