Gavin's Visit to the Hospital

Gavin and Elmo both got their name braclets when they checked into the hospital for his surgery on his cheek. Gavin was very brave. He loved his fishy PJ's and his gas mask he got to play with.

Gavin got some little socks to wear on his feet, but he decided to use them as baseballs instead and he played catch with Julie.

He was suppose to be using his gas mask on Elmo and seeing how it puts Elmo to sleep, instead he decided to use it as a Happy Birthday hat.

Going into the surgery room was a little scary so Keith got to put on the bunny suit and walk with Gavin to stay with him until he fell asleep. Keith said he was glad he went because Gavin had a little tear running down his cheek. He got the happy gas and started giggling and after about 10 seconds of giggling, Gavin went sound a sleep and 30 minutes later they came to tell us he was done and in the recovery room. Everything went great. He was sound alseep in the recovery room and it took him a long time to wake up. He was not so sure about his IV or what it was for and boy did he watch the nurse with a serious face when she took it out. He was glad to go home and see his sisters afterwards.
