Simon had his hernia surgery today. We left our place this morning at 5 am and headed to the hospital. Despite being waken WAY earlier than when Simon normally wakes up, he stayed awake for most of the 45 minute drive to the hospital. I was expecting him to be very cranky (his last formula bottle was at 6:30pm and he only got to have diluted apple juice at 4:30am), but he was all smiles and loving all the new people that were poking and prodding him. At 7:30 he was taken away and the surgery was pretty quick, we got to see him again around 9. It was funny and sad to see him come out of anesthesia. He was having a hard time waking up and it was so sad. He was really sleepy. Now we are home and Simon is doing really well. He hasn't been too cranky and has slept a good portion of the day....hope that continues into the night. Below is a picture of Simon in the pre-op room in his awesome hospital gown/pajamas that they gave him to wear.

He is so cute. I am glad everything went good. And he needs to get better quick so we can go swimming. Hope you get some sleep tonight.
I'm glad things went well, what a tough guy! I hope recovery is smooth and you got lots of sleep.
cute little gown! what an adorable little thing. Too bad he had to go through all that! It breaks your heart to see them in in pain.
