Jack's Trip to the Hospital (aka Hernia Shmernia)

 6:30: Playing in the waiting room before surgery.
 7:00: Jack swaps out his street clothes for his little hospital gown and gets his vitals taken.
He was a very good boy and sat still the whole time!
 Inspecting his sticker.

 7:30: Enjoying his Versed before we walked him back to the operating room.
 10:00: Getting some love from his Auntie Cecil.
Jack woke up in the recovery room in pain, coughing and crying for us. After a very tense 15 or 20 minutes, and three doses of morphine, he was able to sleep for a good hour and a half before...
waking up and immediately trying to crawl around!
 Though he was a little out of it, Jack was ready to inspect his crib
and snuggle with Mommy and Daddy. 

By 11:30 Jack was free to go! Now we're home and he's already toddling around the front room, playing with his toys, and demanding LOTS of food. You'd never know he just had surgery! We're  grateful and relieved that everything went so well. What a scary little adventure this has been!
