Brave Joseph

Well here he is, our brave bunny with his ever faithful smile!

An early start this morning as he had to be in Lincoln Hospital by 0800, and lucky us he was first on the list! So after a chat with the anaesthetist and consultant Joseph had the pleasure of bed travel and a stretcher flight to the operating theatre. He was very brave as they put in his line and as the anesthetic went in he was asked to count down from sixteen.... He barely managed fifteen and was out! A little teary I went back via a prayer stop at the chapel, ( I found it really comforting that yesterday's gospel reading was that of Jesus healing a deaf man)to wait on the ward where Leah was snoozing. The operation went well and thankfully there were no swollen adenoids so it wasn't as involved, and after resting , eating and drinking (and playing on the playroom's playstation!) He was discharged.
Tired, he will have another day off school to recover fully from the medication. But other than that back to his cheerful self.
Thank you to Penny who looked after Benjamin for the day and Cath who picked up Isaac from school at lunchtime and looked after him for the afternoon. It was a great comfort to know they were being cared for.
