Surgery Day

Well, David cleared another significant hurdle today. Here are the three of us pre-surgery. This picture was taken just before we piled into the car for our next adventure.
This was a difficult day. Although, I'm not sure for whom it was the most painful. Nicole and I (and Grandma Peggy) were filled with concerns before the surgery. As the day progressed toward the big moment we met with each of the individuals who would be working with David thoughout his surgery.

One thing we learned is that everyone at Gillette's seems truly passionate about providing the best possible care for their patients. The other thing we learned is that it is terrifying to watch doctors take your child away for surgery!

Fortunately, it appears that everything went very well. Below are some post-surgery pictures. After some initial discomfort, David is doing very well and is about to fall asleep with Grandma Peggy!

We hope everyone is doing well, and David cannot wait to show all of you his new smile.

PS - the dark mark on the left side of his face is marker, nothing more!
