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!

Way to go Josh! What a brave little boy! And Michelle I am sure you were very brave too. :) I hope he has a speedy recovery. And by the way I didn't know pony days was so huge out there! :)
Glad he was brave! And how nice you all got to sleep in your own beds. I still feel for the little guy, he's been through a lot. Take it easy! Use those freezer meals :)
We're glad to hear that Josh's surgery went well and that he was so brave. Good luck with the rest of the recovery.
I am so glad that Josh's surgery went well. You are such good parents. Take care of the sweet little guy.
Oh my gosh-my brother Mark is crazy jealous of those boys about the Halo sightings. I remember the feeling of the meds in surgery, "loopy" doesn't describe the way I felt or acted. More embarrassing than I can say though because there were people in the room that we went to high school with so I pretty much showed them my best side. I'm glad that everything went well, I hear that cookies 'n cream ice cream takes all pain away.
I'm glad he's doing better, and that he has been so brave. You have also been a very brave mom through all of this!
Yay Josh! Way to go kid! Hope he has a great recovery.
I'm glad everything went well. I hope he has a speedy recovery.
