Chuck E Cheese, Disney World and a "Hotail" please.

Carter and I headed to the hospital at 5:50 this morning. He wasn't to hard to wake and seemed quite excited it was just the two of us getting into the car while it was dark. Joe stayed home with Bryson until it was time for him to go to school and then joined me a little after 8.

In the halls of the empty hospital.


We sat around for about an hour then we were called back. Carter ended up in the same bed as Bryson was the previous year. It must be a special bed. I put on his gown but we had to leave his pants on, Carter's instructions!
Shortly after getting him settled and verifying he was Carter they gave him a little versed cocktail and that is were the fun begins.

The videos below were taken one right after another in the span of probably five minutes. That is how fast the medicine works.








I thought this picture was just to cute to pass up. These manly men and then little ole' Carter.


Carter waking up after surgery and not a happy camper.


Here we are after being transferred to our room. Thank goodness we didn't have to stay the night. Good thing they put him in this bed, because he kept falling over to the side.


After the wooziness wore off we took Carter to the cute little play room they had in the pediatric ward.


Then we took him for a little stroll before being discharged.



Tonight as I laid him to bed he said that he couldn't kiss me because his mouth hurt, but that he wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese, Disney World and a "Hotail" tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the BIG day!

Send Carter a few prayers and wish him luck. Tomorrow he will have his adenoids and tonsils removed and then he will have tubes put into his ears. This is a big surgery for our little two year old but we have great doctor. Dr Doolittle is the one that removed Bryson's adenoids and tonsils last year.

This is a picture right before they gave him something to make him a little more relaxed.

Here he is singing after receiving the very drowsy, giggly medicine.

Poor Bryson, here he is waking up from the anesthesia and not enjoying life.


We took Carter to Chuck E Chesse yesterday. He had been asking to go for two weeks straight. Serioulsy he asks to go there about 8 times a day. It could be on the upwards of 20 to 30 depending if he gets in one of those moods where he will ask over and over as in...I want to go to Chuck E Cheese, I want to go to Chuck E Chesse, I want to go to Chuck E Chesse. Do you see what I mean, and I say the same thing over and over...this weekend, this weekend, this weekend. So, yesterday we made his dream come true and took him after Bryson's baseball game. Which is a whole other story in it's self. I will have to get to that a little later. Anyway, Carter has not asked to go to Chuck E Cheese all day today. Yippie!!

Here are a few pictures from, as Bryson says, Where a kid can be a kid!

Another T-Ball game and surgery date set.

Yesterday we had Carter's pre-operation appointment. Carter did very well and behaved for the most part. The appointment was three hours long, that is why I said he did a good job. His surgery date is set for next Monday the 21st. They say he may or may not have to stay the night. It just depends on how well he does and how he comes off the anesthesia. We do not have a time yet, but they say mostly we will have to be there in the 6 o'clock hour.

On another note...Bryson had his second game of the season tonight. The team did very well and I did better with my video camera. Though I did not get any pictures. I have come to the conclusion its either one or the other. In between coaching and recording, my ever so active toddler hurt his gums and was bleeding. Poor little Carter hurt himself and I don't even know how he did it. He says he hurt it at the baseball player. Which means the baseball field. I think he might have fallen off the bleachers. Luckily our friends were there to scoop him up and give him squeezes till I could come off the field. At the time I was helping the kids batting off the tee. I help set up the tee to their height, get the kids feet situated, collect the bats and move the tee when the kids come in to score. Bryson played pitcher the first inning and he got all three outs for that inning. He would get the ball and tag the hitter as they were running to first. He did a great job, as did all the other kids on our team.

Our next game is this Saturday.
