Surgery Day

Joaquin had his adenoids removed eariler today.  He did amazingly well with not eating or drinking before the surgery.  They didn't take him in until almost 2:30 pm and I thought for sure he'd be super cranky, but as you can tell from the pics he was having a ball, at least pre-op.  They had videos and a portablel dvd player for him to watch and also had a wagon for him to ride in.  Post-op was a different story.  He was quite uncomfortable and actually bit and ripped out his iv (blood went everywhere!).  Even after they unhooked everything he wasn't happy until he was at home and Mommy was singing to him.  He went to bed early and since has been sleeping, but is snoring loudly and every so often wakes up crying but goes back to sleep before I can get in his room.  Hopefully tomorrow he will feel ok.

Here he is watching the Elmo dvd.  He did not want to sit on either of our laps and insisted on standing to watch it.

Here he is riding in the wagon and playing with the stuffed camel they had at the desk.  He loved that thing! I think we need to buy him a stuffed camel now.
