I'm okay, thanks!

Thank you so much for all of your prayers. Luke did just fine with his surgery.

"I'm all ready in my baby hospital gown."

"Let's play!"

Luke was given some type of medication that helps the babies relax and not be scared to leave their parents and to not care much that they are getting an IV, seeing the operating room, etc. They say it also has an amnesic effect so that the child won't even remember leaving mom. Oh, the wonders of modern medicine.

"Whoa, man! You gotta try this stuff!"

As he woke up from his surgery, he was groggy and super cuddly. All he wanted to do was snuggle with his new little friend (any suggestions for names for the floppy little Dalmatian?) and nurse. He was such a trooper when the anesthesia wore off. He hasn't been very fussy at all. What a tough kid!

Again, thanks to all of you for your heartfelt prayers and well wishes. We know God was watching over our little boy.
