Greg's Adventure

He thinks it's so cool for mom to ride in the back with him and that he is alone with just mom and dad. He has all his gear: doggie blanket, Cars slippers, Speed Racer jammies and backpack with Copper inside!

Not loving the hospital jammies too much - they are NOT Speed Racer...but look at the cool bracelet that says he belongs to mom and dad. We had fun watching the birds on the roof while we were waiting and Dad liked playing with all the lights and switches. (not kidding)

Like a lamb to the slaughter - this broke my heart and I was biting my lip the whole walk down the hallways. He thought it was a grand adventure, grinning the whole way. (And yes, we did prep him so he knew pretty much what was going to happen, I am not that cruel to just send him in unknowing) This is where mommy kissed him good-bye and then ducked into the restroom to have a little cry and prayer #57 that everything would go ok.

"YOU! YOU DID THIS TO ME!" Greg in recovery, he did soo well and cried as soon as I mentioned him going home soon. I let him hear grandma's voice on the phone which he liked but really he slept most of the time, waking up to eat orange slushie while Dan and I watched Stardust in Spanish. Dan was good at making me laugh translating for me. I love that he is so clam and mellow to my worrysome and emotional at times.

Get this thing off of me now, it's not fun anymore

OK, maybe it's a little fun. Greg started cracking jokes at me in the wagon ride to the car and we were able to look at the really cool model train set they have while waiting. The it was HOME!!

He has done so great - so great I sent Dan off to the movies last night to see Dark Knight. He had a little rough time being woke up for his medicine which involved Dan and I both struggling to get him calmed down. But since then, an excellent patient. But hoping the ear tubes and T&A removal will help him so much!
* T&A is what they kept calling it. I felt like I should've been covering his ears everytime they said that!!

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers...I think this was more difficult for me than him!
