Pre-surgery

Thank you to Candy who kept everyone updated while we were away. Thank you to everyone for positive thoughts and prayers- they worked! Aidan did exceptionally well- and was released before expected only about 24 hours from the start of surgery.
I'm going to post some pictures in different posts... here are some pictures of pre surgery- maybe a little out of order-
Here's a picture of Aidan's pre-surgery bath- he had a fun time "swimming". It will be his last swim for about 6 weeks- so he hung out in the bathtub to enjoy the water for a while.

Here's Aidan eating his 5:30am breakfast. He had to stop all foods by 6am, so we woke him early to eat (he had a late night the night before because of our long trip to the hospital and we were out of his element... so he was pretty tuckered when we woke him up- but he ate and even was able to drink until 9am- his preop appointment was at 11- surgery scheduled for 12, so he didn't have to be without for really all that long!) Aidan kept saying, "Okay, I'm ready to go home now." He was always very polite and understanding when we told him we had to stay for him to see the doctor.

Here he is in the pre-operative waiting room. Look at those big trusting eyes! ...
Again- in pre-operative waiting room. It's a good set up- lots to occupy the kiddos while waiting.
