Liam's Endoscopy

Had to wake up at 5:30 this morning to be at Wolfson's Childrens Hopsital by 6:30, Liam's endoscopy was schedule for 8:30.  He was really great about the whole process, Liam can be so stubborn at times he just shocks me when he does what the doctors and nurses ask of him. 

They had him dress in a hospital gown and took all his vitals, while asking us all the questions.  Then we were sent back to the waiting room until they were ready for us.  When we were called to the back we were able to sit in another playroom where Matt and I discovered the weirdest kids book ever, it was called Walter, the Farting Dog.  Matt and I couldn't stop laughing as I read the book to Liam, of course he wanted me to read it.  Dr. George and the anesthesiologist both can to talk to us about the procedure and asked us if we had any questions.  Then it was time for him to go back, the nurse had him pick a cart to ride back to the operating room in, he picked the tugboat.  We both kissed him and he just went down the hallway in the tugboat.

About 30 minutes later Dr. George can out letting us know everything looked totally normal and that the biopsies would be back by Wednesday.  He said he totally expects everything to come back fine and thinks that it is just stomach migranes.  If it is stomach migranes he will probably grow out of them by puberty.

We were called back about 15 minutes later and waited for him to be wheeled into recovery.  He smiled at me as he was rolled into the room.  He did great waking up, just a little crying that he wanted to go home.  He drank some Gatoraid and had a blue slushy, a little after 10 he was finally discharged but not until they gave him a beanie baby for bring such a great patient.
