Reed's Surgery

Reed doesn't know what he is in for!
Minutes before surgery...
Minutes after surgery......

Reed, packed his trunk and was leaving!

Reed made it through his 7 hour surgery and did well. He was such a trooper through it all. He stayed 3 days in the hospital, and got the drain out on his third day. He was so good and when ever the nurses or doctors would do something to him he would say thank you and then bye, trying to get them to leave. He loved his little car that sat parked in his room. He drove it all around the hospital. Sometimes he would shut his drain in the door, he would growl and then make it right. No slowing him down. He would take his sippy cup and bear with him on his journeys. His final journey was after he watched me pack all of our stuff into a wagon and he followed me and the nurse out. He knew we were headed out and every person he passed from the fourth floor down to the first floor entrance he was giving them a very excited "bye".

He is home and doing wonderful. He has slept great and does not complain at all about pain. He still hates his medicine, it takes two of us to get some of it down him. He is most happy to be back with his dad and on the ranch.

We are just so greatful for the tender mercies and wonderful doctor....
