First surgery...

Today was day that my son had his first surgery. He was so amazing! From the time he woke up until they pushed him off into the operation room, he kept everyone laughing. He even showed off some of his magic tricks. He is such a special kid. The nurse and the doctor explained the happy juice (anesthesia) to Dalen. He got excited and said "ooh I'm getting some happy juice!". The nurse took his blood pressure, attached his heart rate monitors, inserted his iv, and then went the happy juice. Just five minutes later Dalen looks at me with the saddest face and cried "Mommy, I thought happy juice made you happy." It shocked me so because he has been the strongest kid ever through this whole process. I started to cry with him and told him that everything will be okay, God has you in His palm. He smiled and then it was time to head off to the Operation Room. He raised both arms and said "Weeee I'm going on a ride!" After about an hour he was out of surgery and waking up in pain. I held his hand, wishing I could of took the pain for him but I couldn't. He looked at me in tears and I could only tell him that God would not have chose him if he wasn't strong enough. Dalen then close his eyes and falls asleep. I am so grateful that my son knows who his Heavenly Father is. God was the doctor in the hospital and the comforter and my son knew it!
