Gabe...back to normal

Before...

After...just a little bandage


I guess you could say that Gabe is back to his normal self...although I'm not sure that he truly ever needed to recover. ;)  We went to the hospital Thursday morning and Gabe was quite patient until we went back to the room that had the bed.  He told us that he didn't want to take a nap.  ;)  The nurse asked if he would like to ride in the bed or have mommy walk him back.  Of course, he said he wanted to go with mommy until we mentioned him treating the bed like a train.  That was all he needed.  He rode the "train" with ease and didn't rebel at all.  The anesthesiologist said that he did extremely well once he was back there.  They used a gas mask to put him to sleep and he didn't fight them with it at all.  Thankfully, the hospital had sent us a video to watch and that made all of the difference.  The doctor said that everything went well.  Once we headed back to the recovery room the nurse asked if he would like some crackers...Gabe said he wanted fries.  No, our children do not live on fast food.  However, we did tell him that he could eat whatever he wanted since he couldn't have any breakfast or lunch.  Before we left the hospital, Gabe had cheese crackers, teddy grahams and some sprite.  He was rather excited that he got to choose a prize for being such a good patient.  From there we headed to McD's and got him some fries, nuggets and a sprite...he ate everything!  We got home and he was ready to go...played with  legos, Claire and ran around the house.  He was good to go and we are so thankful!  A big thanks to everyone who prayed...your prayers were felt.

Below are a few shots from later that afternoon...Claire talking on her phone. ;)

Claire's favorite place to be...

Gabe was playing "king and princess" with Claire...she wanted to switch roles...or maybe that was Gabe. ;)
