The wee small boy was in hospital for his first operation today. All went well and he was done and home again by lunch time.
Thankfully cannulas were not required. I am beyond grateful for this.
fake sleeping…note the half-scoffed biscuit!
He was brave and funny during the whole adventure…teasing the nurses by pretending still to be asleep. Promise of a Cadbury’s Fudge at home soon put paid to those shennagins.
We are now waiting for his next hospital date which will be to have his squints corrected. I think I’m going to be a whole lot more sanguine about that now I know he’s fine with anaesthetic.
And whilst he’s had a little snooze this afternoon I’ve finally made it into the sewing loft and have made a start on paper fitting the pattern for The Husband’s shirt.
Next stop…the toile! See….slow sewing…doing it right. It won’t last! 😉
What a relief to have the first one over with, it’s so much worse putting our little ones through it. Looks like he has found the perfect way to recover
It is just horrible. And his is only minor stuff too.
How parents with children who are very sick and need many operations cope with this I have no idea…but much admiration.
Oh Evie I can’t imagine how hard that must have been! But if he’s teasing nurses he definitely is fine. Love the pretend sleeping whilst hanging on to his biscuit!
He’s a shocking flirt! And hasn’t stopped eating since he came round. Which is always a good sign…
Wow, that had to be really tough. Glad he’s made it through swimmingly, and I can imagine what a relief it is to feel more confident about the anesthesia part of it. Speedy recovery, little guy!
I feel the weight of the world has been lifted, I must admit. He’s currently in the play kitchen making (imaginary) cake soup. 🙂
Phew – what a worry for you. So pleased all went well. Go on, give him an extra Fudge 🙂
I swear one day he’ll turn into a Fudge! 😉
glad the little cookie monster is well. And well done to you too mfor being a brave mummy xx
Thank you…but I can assure you I was anything but!
Oh, poor little guy. I’m sure he’s not getting away with murder right now 🙂
And he’s not been milking it for all it’s worth 😉
Glad he came through it unscathed and in good humor!
Thank you…me too! 🙂
He looks like a little angel! Glad everything went well.
Wishing him a speedy recovery!
Today you wouldn’t think anything had happened. He’s back on form and wishing the snow would fall harder so he can make snowmen. They are remarkably resilient, little folk.
Evie this is wonderful that he handled it so well (and you did too!). Thank goodness for biscuits and snow! I’m very very glad it went so well.
Thank you so much. This is the boy who would scream for an hour (non-stop) if he had to have his hair cut. It was a nightmare. It’s nothing short of miraculous that he was so sanguine. I’m incredibly proud of him.
Glad to see everything went well. Sounds like a funny little boy…le beau au bois dormant!
Certainement! Drôle et beau…je pense!
