My little patient

Here he is in his final protest regarding the removal of his Spiderman costume. 
Still not happy about the gown..
Here he is in recovery eating his popsicle. This is the last picture I have at the hospital because shortly after this he LOST IT. He freaked out. I think he was in pain, confused, and that he reacts to anesthesia just like his mommy! Once we got him calmed down we were able to leave.... but he absolutely refused to get dressed so we walked out of the hospital with him in his undies. Not even one person batted their eyes at us, guess they're just used to that kind of stuff at Children's.  
At home, with new Dino and the bandage he hated. 


Here's the good news: his thumb is 100% operational!!! And after two days he didn't even need tylenol. He still has stitches, but only 4 of them and the incision looks great. 

I'm so glad to have this behind us.... just can't wait for those stitches to dissolve so we can move on!

  1. He's a trooper. What a great little guy.
    I know this was hard Larissa, but just remember that it is the difficult things in life that make us strong. I pray JD grows up to be a strong man.
