Stone's First Surgery!

On January 22nd, Stone had to have oral restoration surgery; a fancy name for 7 caps and one extraction... the poor boy had some bad molars! He was a trooper through it all! When we arrived in his room the nurse told us to try to get him into the hospital gown... the boy was stripped and naked before the nurse finished her sentence; the nurses were shocked at how compliant he was about the whole thing! The surgery went well and Stone was in the good hands of Dr. Steele. Stone seems to be eating better now that his teeth are not hurting him as much!

Stone with his Edmond Regional Hospital monkey- it was "free" at check-in!
Pre-op time! Stone was very curious about it all and thankfully he was not nervous at all!
Hanging out in the "holding" room. They had given him some liquid meds to make him sleepy- it worked!

Ready to go back! The hospital was so sweet with Stone and really had great experiance with the little ones!
When Stone came out of surgery he was pretty groggy but was thirsty and he decided to have a popsicle!
Resting in Daddy's arms! He would sleep a bit and then get irritated and antsy!
A little more popsicle... almost done! He did great keeping things down! At this point he started asking for the Wii... a sure sign he is ready to get home!
The nurse came to take out the IV and give us the all clear to go home. Stone says this wrap was the only thing that hurt... I think having his arm restricted bothered him.
When we got home Stone had a mailbox of cards and well wishes from friends from all over the USA! He loved opening all the cards! We are surely bless with great friends and family!

So glad it was uneventful. He was a true trooper.
