red.


the day i have been dreading. dreading. for months. came and went today.
eye surgery. on a two year old.

it was worse on us. he was nervous. but really unaware. didn't like the gown. wanted to wear his sister's flowered rain boots. wanted to chew on the iv. took elmo and blanket with him to surgery.



but he did great. he charmed the nurses. they wanted to make a video of what a good patient he was. the hospital and doctors and nurses were fabulous.

we survived. had lots of friends and family at the hospital as well as our pastor. to support us. it meant more than i can write. the calls and prayers and hugs were of a great comfort. it's difficult to go through this on your own. we are lucky to have such wonderful friends and family. thank you. from us and him.

he looks worse for the wear. bright red eyes. a tad bit crabby. tired. but his usual happy-go-lucky self. we are blessed.

  1. Glad the surgery is over. Hope Max heals quickly and well. Wanted to call you, but didn't want to add to the stress around your house with the surgery and your company.
