All Done!

Surgery went well, and Syed Brian was a trooper! He just finished up another MRI and X-Ray so hopefully we're done with procedures for the day. He is resting comfortably and holding his new best friend - his red monkey that was a gift from the phlebotomist on Monday.

Syed Brian has quickly made friends starting with his pre-op nurses who he impressed by squealing and blowing raspberries. His surgeon realized that there was a possibility that we had not cut his hair yet so he was thoughtful enough to save the shaved hair for us. His post-op nurses were shocked that he was only 5.5 months old and his current nurse has declared him the 'perfect patient!' As parents, we're very proud of his behavior throughout the day and as such, we have decreased his grounding to 2 weeks.

We're hoping he has an uneventful evening and that he will be able to come home soon. He proved once again that he is a tough little cookie and that he is well-deserving of his superman PJ's that he modeled this morning. We're also hoping that his mom and dad get a little more sleep tonight...
