Surgery Day.

Today was surgery day for Mikey.   We had to be at Mount Sinai at 6:30am since he had the first surgery of the day at 8am.  A quick little snip snip under his tongue (a frenectomy) and 15 mins. later he was in the recovery room.  He cried the entire hour we were in the recovery room, he really didn't understand why his entire arm was bandaged up (to keep him from pulling out his IV that was feeding him tylenol), so that was the second hardest part of our morning.  The nurses were great and gave him a "super hero" mask to play with before the surgery so that when they put him under with the mask he wouldn't freak out.

I dressed head to toe in scrubs and took Mikey into the operating room.  Because of his age, it was considered a minor surgery since they had to put him under.  Watching him go to sleep was incredibly hard to watch and the doctor said all the parents get teary eyed during that part.  Luckily for him he doesn't remember a thing (the whole point in putting him to sleep) and he received lots of popsicles and ice cream.

Checking out the action.

Se benefited from Mikey's surgery.  At her age, you can't give Mikey something without giving one to Katie.

Our little guy, post surgery as soon as we got home.
