Day 8: A new belly button for Daddy

One of my new favorite children's books is called Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons.  To hear the story yourself on You Tube, click the book title.   Well, anyway, if you haven't read it, Pete the Cat realizes that even though buttons come and buttons go, he will always have his belly button.  I think David maybe able to relate to Pete the Cat after today. 

Here he is in Pre-Op, ready and waiting for the anesthesiologist to take him back to the OR.  As he was being wheeled away, he was talking about our trip to Machu Picchu.  That is the last thing he remembers...and then he woke up in Recovery 47 minutes later.   Not sure he would have given me a thumbs up had I taken a picture afterwards, but I bet he'd give 2 thumbs up to the surgeon and staff.  They did an awesome job!
