Surgery

Yesterday was Josh's surgery. Finally - no more waiting and worrying - his appendix is gone!!

Before they took him back they gave him a sedative and let him lay in this wagon. It only took about 5-10 minutes for him to get pretty loopey. He was laying there laughing and telling us how he was upside down. He was SO cute!

His surgery went perfectly. He was doing so good that we got to bring him home last night intead of staying over...which made us all very happy!
Josh is doing really good now. He's in a lot of pain, but is being so good and so brave. So glad to have it over!
This week I was watching some of our nieces and nephews and was trying to make Josh feel more excited about going to the hospital. So I was telling his cousin Marcus "Did you know that Josh gets to go to the hospital tomorrow and get all better?" and Marcus replied "so he's not going to talk like that anymore?" He is such a funny kid! My kids had so much fun playing with them for two days!

We had some pictures taken last week. These first 3 are a few of the "sneak-previews" that she sent me. Can't wait to see them all! My brother got married over Memorial weekend. We had a fun weekend with the family.

A: Cow
