The little patient

All done! Yesterday was surgery day for Alex. In and out in 2 hours. Not bad. We arrived at the hospital at 1PM, and shortly thereafter we were called in the pre-op where Alex had has baseline values checked and selected the anesthesia. By 2 PM he was in the surgery room and we stayed with him while he went under anesthesia (he selected the orange flavor for the gas). It was fast and right after Greg and I left the room. Surgery went fast in 30 minutes the doctor came out to tell us that everything went smoothly and we all moved to the post-op. Alex came out of the anesthesia pretty fast and started drinking juice and water right away. By 3 PM we were ready to go home, where my big little boy went to sleep for a couple of hours. All in all, a pretty smooth surgery and recovery.
