Pictorial

Matthew and daddy flying high. On our way to Dallas!
Naptime on the airplane!
Yes. We did let our child watch dvd's to keep him quiet. He was mesmorized in Elmo land for at least a 1/2 hour.
Matthew with his new favorite playmate! The wonderful Susan, who took excellent care for him while I was back and forth from the hospital.
Before surgery. Ready for his "vacation".
4 hours after surgery ended--up in the chair already!
And a thumbs up. He honestly was still saying what a great vacation this is at this point. (hmmm...the power of positive thinking perhaps?? Seems to have worked wonders for him.)

One day post-op- already up with the physical therapist for a walk.
Pretending to enjoy his meal. In reality, all he really wanted was jello and applesauce.

At the hotel just after being discharged....4 days after surgery!
Showing off his "war wounds".
