DJ's Surgery Was A Success!

We are back at home and DJ is now sleeping :)

We got to the surgery center and filled out paper work, then they took us to the pre-op room and had him get into the little gowns. My dad called it his "Dress". There they took his temp, asked more questions and took his BP.

They also brought in a DVD player so he could watch something to keep him occupied, they had Thomas the train in. He never watches that show so he was not interested in the movie. He wanted to push all of the buttons instead.

Finally the nurse came in with his "Happy Juice", he wasn't going to drink it so they put it up his nose, he was PISSED! Screamed for a few minutes then it kicked in and he looked like a drunk! i couldn't stop laughing. The Anesthesiologist came in and talked with me and told me what was going to happen.

A few minutes later i went with the nurse to wheel him to the operating room. When we got to the OR Door i had to say bye. So i gave him a bunch of kisses and went into the waiting room with the family. About 15 minutes later he was out of surgery and in the recovery area. When i got in there he was screaming his head off and wanted mommy :) He was mad because his socks kept falling off because of the toe monitor/cuff. Once the nurse took of his monitor and pulled up his socks, he was fine. He got a Banana Flavored Popsicle and got mad whenever someone took it away.

After about 20 minutes of observation he was ready to go home :) We got him dressed but he wanted to keep the green socks on..lol. The ride home was good, he finished his Popsicle and was really sticky. We got home and he laid on his backyardigans couch and was watching backyardigans when he fell asleep, he is still out. :)
