Isaac's surgery

Isaac's surgery went really well. We were at the hospital at 6:30 am and out by 12:30. It was really nice, they gave me a HUGE room all to myself with rocking chairs, tv's, movies, books. The doctors came in one by one, talked over the procedure with me, came back when they were done, and sent the next doctor in. It was amazing to have all three procedures done on the same day. Isaac was very well prepare for what was going on, and cooperated beautifully with all the doctors' requests. We promised him that he could get a new Star Wars toy when he was done. As they wheeled him back into the room, I had wondered how long he would wait until he talked.... Before he was even in the room, he asked where his toy was. I didn't even expect him to remember. He told me he didn't even cry. We stopped at Walmart on the way home and he picked out his toy, and fell asleep in the car. By 4:00 he was awake and asking for Caleb to come play. When Caleb came over, they rode bikes, jumped on the tramp, Isaac was yelling to his friend across the street! So much for taking it easy for a few days. He has been really tough, and recovered like a champ. He is a little bit whiney when he is in pain, and he is VERY reluctant to take his medicine, but somehow we have gotten most of it down him. We are excited that the scabs are falling off his tonsils now, and hopefully he'll be out of any pain really soon!
Here are the before pictures of his hernia and tonsils. We'll post "after" pictures when things are all healed up.
