Photos from the hospital

Jackson had a very busy day. He had appointments all day. The night before the surgery, Jackson was able to go swimming this his Mom & Dad. This is him playing Gameboy right before bedtime.

Early morning. We report to the hospital at 7:45 am. This is Jackson in the pre-surgery wing. He was very specific about what he wanted to wear to the hospital...Superman shirt, Superman socks, Superman cape & Superman blanket. I bet you can't figure out who his favorite Superhero is?


Surgery took about five-hours. According to Dr. Mosca, everything went according to plan. Jackson was in recovery for about an hour. The photos show Jackson in his hospital room right out of recovery. The first thing he asked for was his toothbrush. He quickly moved on to the operation of the bed. The bedside controls continued to be a source of entertainment throughout his stay at children's :)

The day after surgery, Jackson is still connected to IV, epidural, and cathiter. His spirits are high. Here he is showing off his new look. The Transformer mask was a hit with the hospital staff and other patients, thanks to the voice morphing feature. (Thanks Brandi :)

Jackson's epidural was stopped around noon. By 9 PM he was off the IV and the epidural & cathiter had been removed. The only thing he wanted to do was get out of his bed and lay down with Baba on the "big bed".


Leaving the hospital. We were able to check-out before 1PM on Saturday. Jackson is ready to be home.
