Clark had an aborted circumcision when he was a day old. Long story, but that meant a trip to the urologist and a scheduled circumcision revision at 6mo under general anesthesia. He had this surgery on 6/10/11.
Here is Clark pre-surgery, continually happy and charming the nurses left and right...
Here is Clark post-surgery, still happy and completely focused on the mask used to put him to sleep.
Quotes from strangers during his visit:
"I've never seen a baby his age smile so much with the gas mask being held on his face!" -surgery room nurse
"If he stayed any longer in the recovery room there would have been a fight between the nurses for who was going to take him home." -recovery room nurse
"Kids his age usually fight and cry so much more when I am doing their vitals post-surgery." - step down unit nurse
Overall just like his vaccinations so far he took the day like a champion. He did get his first dose of Tylenol in his life after surgery but that is the only pain relief he needed. He spent the majority of that day taking naps, but otherwise he was smiling like always.
