“She did it…”

A light note from the surgery this Monday…

They called us back to the recovery room and we soon heard our little boy crying.  Mommy held him for a bit but because of his strength and unhappiness she soon gave him to me.  We both sat there for what seemed like an eternity trying to calm him down.  A lot of his displeasure had to do with the nurse standing at the bed filling out some paperwork as we were holding him in the glider (like a rocking chair).  The nurse soon realized he was not going to quiet down until she went elsewhere to finish her paperwork.  Soon after she left, he quieted down and then took a little nap as we waited to talk to the doctor.

After talking to the doctor and being reassured that 2nd surgeries are quite common with the severity of Connor’s 1st surgery, it was time for us to get Connor dressed so we could leave.

As we were dressing Connor (he was awake by then), he spotted the nurse at the table filling out the paperwork.  As we stood him up to pull up his shorts, he pointed over to the nurse and started mumbling (as if to say, “she did it…she is the mean one.”)  I could not help but laugh at that moment and said to him, “I know buddy…it is ok.”

It was a lighthearted moment after a very stressful day.  Thanks for bringing a smile to Mommy and Daddy’s face.

We love you!
