Okay a quick few things to mention before I go into more details about his surgery yesterday (which I'll in a post tomorrow)...First he received a package today! He exclaims when he opened and discovered the contents, "How did I get this? Did I win it???" We explained that the nice people over our local John Deere supplier, Snead Ag, (we are still enjoying our lawn mower we purchased a few years ago, btw!) sent him a get well gift fit for a king. He has been sitting still (which is very very good!) playing with all the little trucks and gators and tractors. So a big thank you to Amy and the crew there! (Amy and I went to school together and reconnected on facebook-gotta love FB)Next, I got meet another blogger Nicole (her niece has bilateral cochlear implants). She came up twice to see Gage so she met him pre-morphine and post-morphine. She's adorable, and she just might have had a little something to do with his request for the fifth floor at the hospital (she's a nurse at the hospital). So once again, he's spoiled.
And lastly, I'm just as guilty! Here he his AFTER I delivered him ice cream on the couch, telling me I needed to come back and stir it! He was serious too. Good thing tomorrow he's coming off the "disabled" list at the house...let's hope. He's milking it, for sure (he's smart!)One more quick story from yesterday...The guy from anesthesia remembers Gage from a previous surgery and says "Oh, he's a hoot, I remember him" and he immediately goes into lip reading mode. He faces Gage, has eye contact, and get this...(and Gage does this to me all the time), he's telling Gage about what's gonna happen and Gage insists he DOES NOT want an oxygen mask. As soon as Gage sees that they aren't gonna back down, he just looks away during the middle of a conversation. I didn't even have to say anything, the guy knows Gage can't hear him and says "oh no he didn't, did you see him just cut me off!" We got a little chuckle as Mr. Gage showed us he had the upper hand. However, it was only temporary 'cause he got masked. More later, I have to go hug my boy...he's getting back to himself as I type...he just looked at me and said "Mama, I had a hard time today and last night." He may just be wanting something though he's quite the charmer...lol

Oh, Gage is a hoot, all right! I love the anesthesia doc- sounds like he really "gets" Gage, lol. It sounds like the recovery is going well, and here's to getting up and around (to ride on a real gator) as soon as possible!
