Didn't take many pictures because it was a pretty uneventful stay. The ones I took showed that life wasn't all that bad for Tyler. If you look closely you can see that in picture #2 he has cookies in one hand, cracker jacks in the other and a movie between.
The greatest nuisance for Tyler was his IV. Probably because it was irritated from too much DS playing. I did advocate that it needed to be in the least annoying spot while playing. The nurses had never had such a request but I must look out for my little guy, right? he called it his yellow shot because the needle into his arm was yellow. He loved to take off his leads. And went through periods of disliking his pulse ox but for the most part was pretty good. You can tell when Tyler is under stress at the hospital because he doesn't talk much. The first day he maybe said 5 words to others and had a look of worry of what was to come. He was aggravated waking up from anesthesia which is understandable. He wanted to do all this stuff that his little body couldn't and luckily fell back asleep after about 30 minutes of total confusion and slept it off.
Cute moment. Tyler blessed the food one day in his sweet little voice the day of his surgery. He said, " We are thankful for this day. We are thankful for this food. We are thankful for the nurses." Soo cute. The nurse was at the door and overheard and thought it was simply the cutest thing she had ever heard. She told people about it for three days. See, even if these little ones willn't thank a nurse personally for the shots, bp or temps they receive, they are thankful in their hearts.
Pop came to visit the last day and it made Tylers day. He loves his Pop!

What a sweet little prayer! Kids really are so pure. Tyler is just a beautiful kid. I'm sure he's so glad to be home!
