A busy day

Thanks to all of you who prayed for Micah and his surgery today. We are happy to report that all went as planned, and Micah did really well the whole day. We had to wake him up at 5:30 this morning (he seemed a bit puzzled since usually he's the one waking us up that early!) so we could be at the hospital by 5:45. Micah charmed all of the nurses, and was pretty cute in his hospital pajamas.

Our nerves were calmed (and our prayers answered) as the doctor prepared him for the anesthesia with a little extra medication. It made him a little...let's say "happy"...and we couldn't help but laugh at him while he had a semi-glazed look in his eyes and began singing a little song over and over. It made it much easier for Jason and I to hand him over to the doctors since he did not cry at all.

His surgery was done right on schedule and we were able to see him while he was waking up in the recovery area. That was some great cuddling time for mommy! We then went to our next recovery area where he had trouble keeping fluids down, but he had a great nap that kept him settled while the IV was still in. We were able to come home from the hospital by around 12:30 p.m. Jason, Micah, and I all took nice long naps!

Again, thanks for all of your prayers and words of encouragement. We really felt God's peace today and are now happy to be in the recovery phase!

Here are a few pictures from our day...


Micah in his hospital "gown". The pants were too big, so we just had him in the pajama top.


In the playroom/waiting room...Micah's probably thankful he's still in diapers...and wondering if anyone else feels a breeze!


In the recovery room, beginning to perk up a bit after a nap, but still pretty sleepy! His left arm is all wrapped up so he can't get at the IV site.
