morning check-in
we got up at 5:15 this morning and waited til almost 6 to wake nicolas. he was a little groggy, but totally fine and actually pretty entertaining in the car on the ride over. when we got to the hospital he was dancing and playing.
once we got into the pre-op room, he put on his gown:
and played with the stickers and magnets the nurses brought for him.
he's being operated on right now, but Oschner has been great so far.
the staff made him feel comfortable, and they even had a cool little car for him to drive:
after they gave him an anesthesia cocktail, we told him he might feel a little sleepy in a few minutes. it actually took 10-15 minutes, but he thought it might be kicking in a lot sooner than that:
I only wish I'd filmed him driving back for the operation - his anesthesia had kicked in and he was smiling and waving to everyone like he was riding in a parade. Camera battery is dying and I couldn't find the charger this a.m., so we may just have text updates from this point today.
