I'm a little unsure about the chronology of all of these post from last year but I'm trying the best I can to keep them in order. In the middle of July Dalton had to have a surgery. Due to the sensitive nature I will not tell you where but it was a pretty big deal. We were very nervous about it. He did so great and as far as we can tell it was a success. He recovered so much faster and better than Dr. Saperston anticipated.
The nurses brought around this stuffed animal that someone lovingly made. He wasn't too excited about it tho and said, "let's give it to Sydney".
Brett was SO SO SO Excited when the Dr. let him scrub in. He only let him watch but he was excited non the less. I was excited that I didn't have to watch!
They put some smelly chapstick on his mask that they let him pick. He was excited about that.
There is something so terrifying about them putting your child to sleep and hauling them off in another room to operate on them. I don't like it one bit and hope we don't ever have to do it again!
He was very sweet coming out of the anesthesia. When we got home we got him a milkshake and watched movies the rest of the day. The dr. said that he would not walk normal for weeks and would be in pain for several months but the next day he was running around, wrestling with Syd, and jumping off things. It made me SO nervous!
I don't think I have any pictures of it but in July Brett also had surgery on his knee. The funny thing I remember about that was that on his chart it was supposed to say that he was a large animal vet but the nurse just wrote down, "large animal". So when the other nurse was talking to him she said "now it says here that you are a large animal." Then she realized what she had said and was SO embarrassed. We laughed and laughed about that!

Love the dress remodel. Dalton sure was a trooper with the surgery. What a good boy!
