Before and After Surgery Day

We are very thankful today is over!  For those of you who didn't know, Logan had his surgery today to remove 3 skin tags from his ears and the one on his cheek.  This surgery was scheduled a few weeks ago, but he got sick the day before...so today was the big day!  Everything went really smoothly and the people at All Childrens Hospital in St. Pete were great.  We got to the hospital at 7 and was released from the hospital around 2.  Here are some pictures from yesterday and today at the hospital.  It's amazing how different he looks to us after getting the skin tags taken off!!  I was going to just post some pics from today, but the ones from yesterday were too cute not to post! :)

Logan during bath time with Mommy showing him his froggy washcloth.

He was really getting a kick out of the frog.

This is Logan REALLY enjoying his thumb yesterday in his bouncy seat.

Most of the time when he sucks his thumb, it ends up being his whole hand...not this time! 
Logan noticed the track lighting we have in our dining room for the first time.  The lights were not even on, but he was just staring at the ceiling.

Grinning for the mugshot.

Logan before his bath, right after we took his onesie off.

Isn't his hair getting soooo long?

Logan at the hospital with his cool new bracelet on.

This is Janelle and Jared waiting in the first of many waiting rooms this morning.

Logan is all decked out in his cool hospital gown.  This will be the ONLY time he ever puts on a dress...

Logan looking up and out at the hospital room windows before surgery.

Jared reading his favorite guitar store magazine.

Mommy getting in as many kisses in before the surgery.

Logan had to get his finger pricked so they could draw blood.  He was a trooper and didn't really even cry!

Ta-da.....the skin tags are gone!!

They brought Logan back to the waiting room and he still had to be on an IV for another 3-4 hours.  They also were monitoring his heartbeat...that's what the pink thing is on his toe.

Logan (and the rest of us) was really tired after all of this hard work.  He has practically slept the whole day.

Side picture of one of his ears where they took the tag off from.

Me giving him some loving after he almost drank a whole bottle.

Jared "finally" getting to hold his little brother.  Janelle held him first and would not let go and then I got to hold him only because she couldn't feel her arms or rear end any longer from sitting.

Logan ready to go home!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the wonderful pictures...both the before and after. Love them all. I am so glad to see Janelle in a lot of them. She is too camera shy. Thanks for posting some of her too!!! Logan sure had quite the day, didn't he? What a wonderful family you have.

I'm so glad things went well for you guys! We meant to call last night but had a hectic evening and thought of it again at 10 our time! Oops! Love the darling pictures! Those thumb-sucking ones are my favorite!

I am glad all went well... I know it was hard to see your kid go into surgery. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

It's good to hear everything went well for you and your family. Logan is such a trooper, I always feel like crying when I have to get my finger poked. :)
