Deklan made it through surgery and is home playing with a new LEGO set right now. He is in some pain but that hasn't slowed him down a bit (he just came out to do a funny dance to get Merrick to laugh!).
Davitra and Meghan met us at the hospital at 7am this morning and took care of Merrick the whole time. It was such a blessing to have the help.
Here is a before picture with Dr.
Turtley. Dr. T (as the anesthesiologist called him) went into surgery with
Deklan to help the doctors.
Turtley even got a hospital bracelet just like
Deklan's.

Here is
Deklan getting ready to leave the hospital. You can't tell in this picture but
Deklan took his hospital gown home with him. He asked the nurse and she said they had plenty if he wanted it :)
Thanks to everyone who was praying for him today.

Glad it's over and done. I guess it's too much to hope that they sent Dr. Turtley home with him too?!
Andrea,
Deklan made Turtley at build-a-bear on his birthday last week. When we were at the store I bought the Dr. outfit as a surprise. I dressed Turtley in it after Deklan went to sleep last night. The hospital staff thought Turtley was the cutest thing! A nurse asked me if I made the outfit. Uh-no!
Thanks so much for the prayers.
