Pictures!

Okay so I remembered I could use use my iphone's firewire to get the pictures...yippeee! Ben has been WONDERFUL this morning; no headaches and very few complaints of dizziness so I am eager to update the dr.s on how he's doing....we might get to go home.

These pics are of the pre op visit on thursday. Sam was feeling really frisky and was a little impatient so I had to skip out on the appt and have an impromptu photo shoot with him in the hallway. Dan stayed in and discussed the procedure and then we went home.

The next day we were back in the hospital at 5 am for surgery.




The night before the surgery we had a little bon voyage party with my parents, my brothers, Omar and T.J. and some friends. Everyone wished him a speedy recovery and he even got some cool gifts to keep him company in hospital.

DS and Wii games!!!--Nothing could be sweeter to this 5 year old.


One last kiss before surgery!
And he's off! Notice the champion's face: he was ready to go. The surgery lasted 3 hours.
Waking up from surgery. His good pal Baby Jaguar (who was in the operating room this time and for the last year's ACE procedure) was there to bring him comfort.





Stinky guy thinks this is hilarious! He is such a stinky dude.
