Today was a long day as we waited for surgery. Dalton was starving and kept asking could he eat or at least have something to eat. I hated having to tell him no but I explained why and told him as soon as surgery was over he could have anything he wanted...I'd even send dad out to get it. He brightened up and smiled and asked, "Did that mean McDonald's?"
So once we got the word that surgery was postponed, Craig ran out to get Dalton his happy meal. He was starving! Not only did he eat that, but I went ahead and ordered a lunch tray which we helped him eat. Plus he gobbled down some snacks, then he was already ready for a dinner tray. He's a growing boy.
Luckily we had some visitors today that helped the day not drag on so long. Channing came to visit her brother. Dalton was so excited to see her, it had been a while. I think she liked seeing all the snacks and goodies he'd accumulated and wondered how many she could take home with her. Of course, Dalton was more than willing to share.
Later Dalton's classmate, Luke, stopped by. He read Dalton some Dr. Seuss books and Dalton added a little more sugar to his diet. Luke's reading started to put Dalton to sleep and they had to get going to a basketball game. It was nice to see some more of Dalton's friends.
I think the 2 of us will be calling it an early night. We are tired. Dalton's already cuddled up in his new camouflage blanket from the hospital (hey, where did he disappear to...oh yeah under the camo blanket!)
