The big day

We arrived at the hospital at 5:45am (luckily it is not even 2 miles from our house!). Luke was taken back to the operating room just after 7am and by 7:20am the ENT doctor came and told us that his tubes were in without a problem! He said they were prepping his arm and that our plastic surgeon would begin removing the hemangioma shortly. At 8:45 am our plastic surgeon came and told us that Luke was doing well and was in the recovery room. He said that the hemangioma was taken off without any complications and that it essentially had no blood in it. Luke did terrific, he didn't cry (that we know of) and he only got fussy right before they took him back because he was hungry. We left the hospital at 10:25am and Luke ate some breakfast and is now napping. All the nurses were taken with him and his cuteness :-)
Thank-you all for your thoughts and prayers! After a few days of antibiotics and some follow-up visits, we may be less frequent customers of the medical system!

Here is a picture of the hemangioma before surgery. I'll have to post an "after" shot later (probably next week) as it is covered and I was told "no peeking."
