The next morning....

There is a quote from an unkown author that says, "To the world you might be just one person, but to one person, you might just be the world."
This quote kind of sums up the relationship between Bryan and Micah, especially since surgery. Poor dad can hardly go to the bathroom. We had a good night, Slept on and off. The pain does not seem too intense, but he definitely doesn't feel well. He has been real brave, but is to the point that when the nurse or the tech comes in to do anything he cries. In fact after they come and go, Micah is usually ready to go for a wagon ride, so here we go with IV pole in tow. He ate and drank well last night. So far he hasn't taken anything this morning, but we're hoping when breakfast comes he'll perk up. We sure are hoping that when the doctor comes around we'll get to go home.
Our time here at CHOA has been a real good experience so far. The staff truly seems very caring. During this time we have realized how BLESSED we are to be the parents of 5 children and this if our FIRST hospital stay. We've had plenty of stitches, concussions, broken bones, but never anything too serious! As we've walked down the halls and see the children who have lost their hair because of chemo, the families that are camped out with children with very serious illnesses, hear the helicopter delivering a critical patient, hear a code blue called at a children's hospital we have realize that we are very blessed.
