Hospital

Luke went in for an upper endoscopy to get some things checked out. We started out the day with no breakfast for Luke. In order to help out Luke, Daddy and Mommy woke up extra early so we would not eat in front of him.

At the hospital we checked in. The hospital gave Luke a teddy bear to hug. He also received "Cozy pants" and a matching shirt to wear. He liked these. He wanted to take them home! There was a wonderful play area/waiting room with a train table, cars, and a playhouse. He played with Daddy most of the morning.

Then it was go time. Look received an I.V. He cried until the needle hit his skin, then he became interested and stopped crying when they put it in. He did not like it when we left. That is until his doctor started talking about Star Wars. The last thing we heard was Luke saying "You're like Darf Bader (Darth Vader) doctor? I gots Darf Bader!"

When a little one receives anesthesia, they are confused and cry. Luke wasn't different. Luke ate 3 popcicles and 1 milk and was content after that. We felt bad for the poor kids in the rooms surrounding ours!

Then we went to see santa, and at the end of it all he totally crashed in the car. This is him in the car.
