Today Jaden had surgery! We got him up early (6:15 am) to get him ready for the commute down to the Medical Center. It wasn't that bad though, John said the traffic was light compared to what he usually deals with. I think Jaden thought it was some new adventure. He was watching the cars, looking at buildings and when we got to the hospital and he saw all the toys, he was excited! Not so much after the surgery. The surgery was quick and recovery - well, lets just say that Jaden told the nurses what he thought about the whole ordeal. =] I rocked him and hummed Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and he calmed down. Then dad took over and he started asking for his apple juice and Pooh. Here are some pictures from the day.
Playing the Disney "Cars" video game in the waiting area
Scooting around in the car - backwards
Hasn't mastered the forward motion with the feet yet
Wow! Fish!
Sporting the very stylish hospital pajamas and playing
in the wagon
Watching cartoons - still waiting to have surgery
John just finished pulling him all around the waiting area.
Getting ready to go back for surgery
In Recovery - More awake now and starting to play with his toys
The green bucket thing is from the hospital waiting area. Jaden had a death grip on this thing once he woke up and we had to distract him so the nurse could take it back when we were leaving. Guess this will have to go on the Christmas list too.

How's he doing? You are easing my mind about David needing surgery next year.
Jaden is doing great! Back at MDO today and had no problem leaving me at the door. =] Guess kids really are more resilient than we think.
