The worst part was when they took him away from me, screaming, for the surgery. I will insist on a different scenario if I am ever in this situation again. When he came to, after surgery, he was inconsolable for several minutes. Thank goodness children are resilient. With a lot of Mommy and TLC, he was much better before too long.

He was pretty drugged up for some time. It was really sad to see him this way.

He was glad when he finally got to eat solid food again!

All's well that ends well. Thank you for your prayers and concern. We were greatly blessed it turned out as well as it did. Needless-to-say, we will not have a treadmill in our home again for some time.
