After we left the hospital John developed a fever and cough.  This turned out to be unrelated to the surgery, but associated with strep - very nice conclusion to the week for John.  At least we know how to treat that.  I think he hates the taste of the medicine more than surgery.

His brothers got to go with us for the first time.  They noted how calm he was heading into surgery - not showing any signs of nerves.  I guess he was compensating for Debby and I (smile).

Anyway, barring any complications, we'll head back at the beginning of next year for another follow up. It remains to be seen how his anatomy will continue to change as he grows and develops.

Thanks for praying.
