Griffin had a little surgery today which will keep him out of school for at least 3 days and off his bike for 6 weeks. (He can't straddle anything so use your imagination on what had to get fixed!) He did really well and everything turned out fine. He has 1 big incision and 2 tiny ones that have to heal but have the stitches that dissolve so we won't have to go back to see the doc for 6 weeks.
He couldn't eat or drink anything from midnight last night on so this morning he kept asking "Don't you feel sorry for me?" I kept saying "Nope, it's so you don't have problems during your surgery."
Helen and Mary were asking me if Griffin could die from his surgery so I told them there is always a risk so that's why we have been praying for him and for the doctor to do his best. Griffin walked into our conversation right when they said the word die and let's just say he has asked about 100 times since then if he is gonna die. SWEET!

Pre-op--happy as can be to miss school and play the DS!
Just out of surgery and contemplating throwing up just to make things fun. Luckily he didn't and kept his juice and ice chips down so we could leave within 30 min.
Wheelin out--can't use legs yet! And more than just a little groggy still!

The ride home, the DS lasted about 2 min and he couldn't even pick a movie, he decided to "look out the window until he could decide."
When we got home I carried him up to bed--all 58 lbs and 48 inches of him-- and he has been there ever since watching movies and sleeping off and on. He has mentioned at least 5 times that some people die when the get anesthesia but he was lucky and didn't die. I guess it was a relief to him!
When Brad got home Griffin told him he "REALLY NEEDED" 3 McDonald's cheeseburgers--2 for tonight and 1 for tomorrow's lunch, so Brad rushed out to fulfill his big boy's wish and got him 3 double cheeseburgers which Griffin promptly ate in 10 minutes. Yes: 3-DOUBLE cheeseburgers! He said his appetite really needed them. I wonder if he was hungry or something. He had a yogurt, a banana and some Carnation Instant Breakfast chocolate milk only 4 hours before but apparently he was still a little famished!
