Timmy had to undergo a minor surgical procedure the day before New Year's. Although no parent hears the word "surgery" and thinks "minor," no matter how routine the procedure, this truly was a minor surgery in the grand scheme of Timmy's world. The feeding tube that had been surgically placed in his tummy between his two open-heart surgeries has been gone for about six months now, but the opening in his belly never healed completely. A one-hour, out-patient procedure to close the now unnecessary g-tube port was successful. Timmy was a Super Trooper through out the whole process, and he has been recovering phenomenally. Here are a few pics from our day at Children's Hospital in Seattle.
This is how the kiddos spent their time in the waiting room.

| Waiting for the doctor to be ready, Timmy snuggled up with Daddy and watched videos. |
 |
| Elmo got to go back to surgery with Timmy, and looked particularly cute with his own hospital bracelet. |
 |
| Mommy also got to go back to surgery with Timmy until the anesthesia kicked in, and did not look particularly cute in her one-size-fits-all sterile space suit. |
 |
| Nana came along to help us, and baby sister Emily slept through the whole event, perhaps tuckered out from all of the earlier waiting room antics? |
