Ben's Spring Break "Adventure"

Ben has NOT been looking forward to having his tonsils out but was quite brave today. Dr. Harris was running late and we had a lot of "cartoon time." Here Ben was hanging out with his dad at the Surgery Center! Ben was so brave when he walked back to surgery with the nurse and didn't look back!
This is how we saw him when we got into recovery! We were so thankful he came out from surgery okay.
Once Ben opened his eyes he stuck his tongue out and said "LOOK"! He didn't like being the ONLY one in the family who still had their tonsils so he was excited after surgery.
Ben got a hold of the camera and picked this picture for the blog.

Anesthesia couldn't get Ben's IV in his hand and "poked" him 11 times. The nurse felt so bad she gave Ben a lot of extra "goodies". Here, Ben is playing with an inflatable dolphin. He wanted a remote control helicopter as his "happy day gift." Once we got it figured out, it was like a jumbo dragonfly on steroids, flying around the house. I was happy when it needed recharged!
