Surgery is Over!

Landon did really well with his surgery. He woke easily in the morning so we could leave by 6:20a for the hospital. We checked-in, got his patient bracelet, his hospital scrubs covered in tigers and bright colors and played in the waiting room. As we waited and played (thank goodness for the toys in the outpatient waiting room of a children's hospital) Shay and Julie came to visit and brought Landon a blankie and stuffed animals! A nurse came to explain Landon's procedure to him (as much as he could comprehend) and it was nice for Brandon and I too to know exactly what he would go through. He went back for surgery right on time at 9 and we were called to talk to the Dr. post surgery at 9:20. By 9:30 Landon was waking from anesthesia and ready to see us. He didn't cry as much as we thought he would which was great! He went through two quick stages of recovery and we were on the road by 10:20.

After a drive-through at Wendy's (we had to keep our promise!) and a Frosty snack at home, Landon was down for a 4 hour nap. He woke well rested and ready to go! Our little man was back to running all over the house and playing like usual! What a trooper!
