Super Star

Our little super star was such a good sport. He happily played while waiting for his surgery.
He was not able to eat or drink that morning. I dreaded him asking for something and not being able to give it to him. Luckily, he was so busy playing with his cars that he only asked once. I responded by handing him more cars.
Evan and I could hear him chatting as the nurses and surgeon wheeled him away down the hall. We waited in his room.
He was brought back to us from the recovery room. He was in and out of sleep.
When he did wake up the first thing he asked for was his car. The second thing he asked for was more cars. However, he did not turn down the apple juice or popsicle the nurse offered him.
And before we knew it our super star, his blue tongue, Lightening McQueen and all the other cars were happily on our way home.
Thank you all so much for sending positive thoughts, good wishes and love!

I heard through the grapevine that he kept the DOCTORS in stitches! (How’s that for a turnaround?) Glad all went well!
