little man had surgery

this little boy right here looks super happy, right?  that's because he has no idea that he's about to go into surgery for a certain procedure that normally happens to little boys a day or so after they're born.  because of this little boy's early arrival into the world he was too small to have this certain procedure that normally wouldn't require being put under general anesthesia.  the new jersey doctors told us we had to wait until he was at least 6 months old.  the california doctors say fooey to that but he's already 8 months old so whatever...
this is cash and jason.  he was quite a handful (cash was...not jason).  i forgot my camera too!  so we used jason's iphone which doesn't take action shots very well and cash was really in the mood to wiggle.  in fact, they gave him a sedative to calm him down before they took him from us and that boy resisted it for about 45 minutes.  it had no effect for quite a while!  when they took him and sent us to the waiting room he was on this crib with wheels on all fours.  the nurses told him it was a choo choo train and he just looked up at them in awe and went along with no fuss.  i think maybe the drug had taken affect by then.  

he did well in the surgery and was a bit cranky off and on for a few days but he had some good drugs to help him out.  he's back to normal now (less than a week later) .

yeah...you would never know this boy had surgery on a certain part of his body that makes grown men cringe just thinking about it.
