Here's Avery modeling the clingy hospital gown:
His bracelets:
Post-op recovery. Avery was totally stoned. He was very lethargic and started passing out again after a little while:
Time to get the IV out and the oxygen monitor off:
I took 3 pics back to back, this being the first with eyelids at half mast, the second was 3/4 mast and the last was him knocked out. His eyelids had been half mast for a while and Travis had just finished buckling him up so I wasn't expecting to catch that!
When we got home, Grandma and Carson had gone shopping and had balloons, a tractor and a truck book waiting for Avery. Of course, this is Avery looking at them much later. When we got home he appreciated the balloons, but was still very floppy and just sat with Grandma and watched a movie for awhile. After about an hour he was up and going!
And I really mean going. He was back to normal in no time and outside playing! Which was a little weird since his pain meds were supposed to make him sleepy. Here's a couple of him yesterday afternoon:
I met Travis in Institute at Oregon State University in 2001 and we were married Aug 2002. We have 3 boys, Avery, Carson and Emmett. I love photography and run a business, 
Travis is a dentist at

Emmett was born in September of 2008 and is now almost 4 years old.

Cool balloons! I hope all is still well today - by the time he was out playing you would have no idea from the pics that he'd just had surgery! What a tough guy! Don't you love the poses kids do for pics? :)
Wow I can't believe he was playing outside the same day. That's great he was feeling good enough to do that.
Doesn't Avery the builder have a dump truck to help move all of that dirt from excavations and landscaping? He needs his hard hat before someone reports him to OSHA. I remember playing with a dump truck with my brother in the sandbox when we were little. Darn, I also remember getting sand on my orange slice when I dropped it in the sand! The ten second rule didn't work that time.
