We have Tubes

After a very prayerful week, here is our little guy on the day of his surgery:

But to get to there, we probably need to go back a little further, before the "Happy Juice" to when the nurse took off Luke's sock to monitor his blood pressure and we lost all control. I mean all control. Flailing out of my arms, inconsolable, screaming bloody murder-- bubbles and toys... um no thank you!

But ahhh... after an uncomfortable nose spray, Luke was pointing out stars- seriously.

Wheeling my big boy off to surgery-- Horsey got a bracelet too and went along for the ride

Recovering. Enjoying my hugs- even if my boy has to be heavily sedated to get them :)

Luke had a sleepy, teary day afterwards. He is slowly getting his appetite back. He had a burst of energy for about an hour when nursery rhymes were on TV-- he is still a little loopy :)

We will test out his words tonight to see if he is hearing us more clearly. Thank you for the prayers-- God heard every one.

I'm so glad that the tubes went well! I knew that Luke would do great. With his sweet Mama + his precious Granna, he was in the very best of hands. We said a special prayer for our Luke yesterday at breakfast. :)
