"What happened to my brother?"

This is what Addie said when she saw Ben after surgery. He has a bandage on his foot from a failed IV attempt. She immediately saw his foot and asked. How sweet is that? We told her that Ben had surgery and to hear her little voice say surgery is so priceless. She wanted to see me change him, since we explained his penis had surgery....it's not a pretty picture, and she FLIPPED out when she saw it. She was screaming, "no Ben! no Ben!" After care is pretty intense, so this should be a fun 30 days of post-surgery care. Woohoo.

Here are pictures of our 7 hours at the hospital. Urology had a 1.5 delay, so he didn't go back until 3:30. Surgery was just under 1 hour.




Before we left for the hospital


In the waiting room


All gowned up


Finally, after being up for 5 hours, he fell asleep waiting for surgery


All done! Recovering afterwards. (The Bob shirt was a hit, as usual!)

Thanks for reading!

And HAPPY 10 MONTHS Benjamin!
