Tough Little Doo

Anson recovered from his surgery quite well, the little man. He was sent home with some liquid tylenol + codeine, but we surprisingly didn't need it! The only medications he took, after surgery, was one dose of tylenol (grape flavored). He spent the day after surgery running around, and even went to the Minnesota Zoo with Daddy. The biggest bummer is that he can't go swimming until the stitches have completely dissolved.

One completely amazing, jaw-dropping thing: Anson actually asked to go to bed the night of his surgery! "Daddy, nap? Bottle?" This has never happened before, and will likely never happen again!

We have removed the big bandage, but still can't see the incision due to the steri-strips, which should fall off in a few days.

(Anson was not happy about having the large bandage removed, as it had really adhered to his skin. You can see some of the residual redness in the picture)
