Remarkable!

Would you believe the child to the right had surgery today? Sorry it is somewhat out of focus but Ben is dramatically telling us about his hospital visit. To say he's been rather animated about things is an understatement.

Things could not have gone any better! Thankfully Lisa had to watch the clock while doing her nursing notations. It was exactly 15 minutes between the operating room door closing and Dr. Chandler entering the waiting room to tell us how well Ben did. It was exactly one hour and five minutes between the smile the he gave me when I kissed him before surgery and the smile Mom got in the recovery room.

Ben woke up talking this morning and treated the outpatient staff at Greenville Memorial Hospital to a full dose of huge smiles and laughter. He definitely made the most of his chance to flirt with the cute nurses. Other than being the slightest bit fussy shaking the cobwebs of the anesthesia he's been his usual happy self.

Many thanks to those of you who thought about us this afternoon! It's good to occasionally get proof that prayer works. Know that Ben sends to ya big droolly hug and smile tonight!
