My Tough Little Boy!

Yesterday was the big day Thomas had surgery on both of his eyes and both of his ears. He was a little nervous when we first got to the hospital and he hated his hospital gown. We went into a waiting area where Thomas could play with some toys and watch a movie but instead he tryed to escape from the hospital at least 5 or 6 times. So the nurses ended up sedating him and 20 minutes later he was in surgery. When I took him in the operating room he was so out of it and was singing happy birthday to me. He was such a brave little guy. Both surgeries were fast, in total maybe an hour long. When the nurses woke him up he was very cranky but he didn't get sick from the anesthetics. We got home from the hospital around 2pm and Tom was off to nap time. When he got up from his nap he acted like nothing had ever happened. He has been back to his old self and only now has to learn to use his glasses to see better.

Wow, I am so happy that both surgeries went well and that everything went smoothly. I was praying for Tom. What a brave little boy!
P.S. He looks so sweet in his hospital bed :)

What a darling - I'm so glad that all went well and he's not to upset about it all. You both are brave for going through this together. It's a tough job being a Mom - take it from me - it's harder to watch them be the patient than it is to be the patient... Congrats!

PS - Love the pics.

He is such a brave boy. It's really hard seeing your kids go through that in the hospital. It brings back memories of Noah when he was born.Scary.

He's so cute. I'm so glad everything went well. Fred is doing well after the surgery. He's just a baby! But we all know that.
