Tert's Trip to The Hospital ;( By: Stella

Hello All.
Most of you may have known that Tert had to go to the hospital for hernia surgery. He was so sweet, and he is home now, bouncing off the walls. We can't even BELIEVE the recovery. He has been dancing, playing, jumping, singing and eating. :)
He went yesterday to the hospital with Mom, Dad and Filia. They left really early but Leo and I were up and said goodbye to Tert and gave him hugs and kisses. Grandma was here too, and she got to say goodbye. We all went back to bed, but Leo and I couldn't sleep. We got up at quarter of six and watched a movie and had breakfast. After a morning at home with Grandma and having a plumber fix our unflushing toilet, (but I'm not going to get into that)... We greeted Tert when he finally came home. He was really sleepy and went right to the couch because he couldn't even stand up he was so tired. He soon recovered after several little snacks and some ice cream. (That'll do it!)
He is a very happy little boy now, and we are so glad to have our little Tert back!!

The night before the hospital I was packing his bag with him. He put in this stuff, as follows:

1 Ball
1 Pair of Socks
1 Fake Ambulance
1 Quarter
1 Musical Instrument
and....
1 Curious George Stuffed Animal

Now, I'm going to highlight this part, because there IS a story behind this one. Dad had hernia surgery when he was Tert's age. He received this little Curious George from his family. Tert was thrilled to hear this, and he immediately bonded with it. He hugged it and held it all the way up to anesthesia.
He asked Mom, "Mom? Am I all packed for my surgery?"
"Yes, you are, Tert."
"Okay. I'm gonna tell my backpack. Backpack? I'm going to have surgery tomorrow."
It was so sad!
I have some pics. below, all of him before his surgery...

The doctors let Mom dress up with Tert and go into the operating room with him all the way up through anesthesia. She put him on the bed, kissed him and then went to take care of Filia during the surgery. She snuggled with him before surgery and Dad took a picture of the two of them. ;)
Thank you all for your prayers concerning Tert's surgery. He is doing great, and he can't wait to see all of you! :)

WE LOVE YOU TERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
