Parker slept pretty well last night and spent the morning singing and dancing again to his Elmo cds. The nurse brought him in a gown for surgery, it has a built in heater! James and I took turns suggling with him so we could share the heat :-) The doctors then came in with some "goofy juice" to help him relax before surgery. James and I enjoyed seeing silly Parker before surgery. He had slower speech, lingering smiles and was very friendly to everyone who walked by. The doctor said the surgery went great. He was still asleep when we went back to see him in recovery. The nurse showed us his bandages, it was sad to see his leg without his foot but we are glad the surgery is complete. He woke up on the way back to his room and repeated "all done" and wanted to crawl off of the bed. He is now content with his epidural and iv and sitting in James' lap watching PBS :-) He will spend the rest of the day resting...
Haha jokes on us, apparently surgery doesn't make Parker sleepy...AT ALL! Parker has been "walking" around in his crib (I guess the epidural is working really well). We have colored, danced, played sewing games, read lots of books eaten ice opened presents from friends. He has had several nurse visitors to come see his cuteness. Now he is standing at the side of his crib looking out the window and being fed ice. We are hoping he is getting worn out and will sleep great later.
Finally after a day full of fun, Parker has fallen asleep... and James is showing his support by taking a nap also :)
Thanks for all of the prayers and support!
