Very tired, but thankful

I don't have a whole lot of brain power this evening. The day has gone better than I ever would have expected. The boy started the morn hyped up, but quickly sobered to all business once we started in the car on our way to the surgery center. He turned on the charm once he got his gown on:



He charmed the staff quickly and, when given the opportunity to ask questions, offered up some doozies. He spoke to the anesthesiologist, asked his questions and took his "Happy Juice" like a champ(though he did not protest when the nurse offered to wipe the nasty taste from his tongue with a washcloth). Once the juice started working, the questions got more interesting as did his general demeanor:



The doc, who is just truly wonderful, came out quickly after the surgery was over to give us the rundown. Big, yucky adenoids and buckets of earwax all gone. Bright future ahead. After he started waking up, they let us go back and assist him with his inaugural koolaid and rocket pop. He lamented the fact that no Bugles were on the menu since he could only have soft foods. We changed him back into his new Batman pj's and started home. Armed with the trusty kidney shaped puke dish, he weather the ride and kept the treats down:



After resting, visitors and many episodes of the Avengers, he was on the mend and ready for the long awaited ice cream. He relished every bite:



He is now slumbering peacefully and readying for the long weekend. Thanks for all the touts and prayers. They were felt and appreciated!
