Just checking in real quick to say that Davy's surgery was successful, and he was AMAZING!! He couldn't eat anything solid for 12+ hours prior and only clear liquids for 10, so we avoided areas having to do with food… and he barely complained. I can't say enough about Ronald McDonald House — one of the best things being that it's within easy walking distance to Children's Hospital — and it was so great to get that little bit of fresh air. They had a nice private outdoor playground, too, and we spent a few minutes there in the morning. Surgery got underway a little bit ahead of schedule, which was great, because they found something else to fix, so it went a little longer. He was zonked out almost all the way home and, even when awake, super chill. Ali said that they both got a great night's sleep last night! His only real restriction is to avoid straddling for a few weeks, otherwise good to go!
Thanks for all your well wishes! Have a great weekend.

I’m very glad to hear the good news and hope that Davy heals quickly!
So good to hear! I was thinking of all three of you. Glad it went so well and sending all the quickest healing juju.
So glad to hear it all went well! Send him an extra hug from me!
I’m so glad to hear it went well and that he wasn’t too unhappy before hand, too!
I am so glad it went so well! I hope he is soon restriction free (which is not an easy task with kids!)
So glad the surgery went well, and nice that they were able to fix the other thing they found!
What a great report, Vicki – thank you!! and I love that the RM House was good for y’all – Katie’s sorority supports our local house and she did some volunteering there in college; I’ve also helped out with meals. Having accommodations and meals is just one less thing to worry about. Hope Davy is back to his usual self soon!
I took a computer break over the weekend, so I didn’t see this until today. I’m so glad Davy was such a champ — and that the procedure went well. I’ve always heard great things about Ronald McDonald houses. What a godsend! XO
