The bravest boy ever!

Download wordart here

Sebastian had to be at the hospital by 5:45 AM. I know mom and dad weren't able to get any sleep Tuesday night, but Sebastian was awake and ready to go...

I have a hard time understanding how anyone can smile that early in the morning, but a couple of hours later he was still smiling as he waited for the last visit from the doctor before being taken in for his surgery...

The surgeon went into this surgery thinking that he may have to take a bone graft from Sebastian's hip for his foot, but after three and a half hours he came out of the operating room and let mom and dad know that it wasn't necessary. The surgery was over and he said he couldn't have been happier with how it went.

After school another teacher and I showed up at the hospital with the more than 500 cards and packages from all around the world that you guys so kindly sent in...

Sebastian was awake (barely) and watching The Karate Kid on TV. He was tired and fighting against the meds to stay awake. He let me take a picture of his cast, but let me know that he will be getting a new cast with Spiderman on it next week. How cool is that?!?!

Even though Sebastian was sleepy, he managed to say "cheese" everytime his picture was taken.

Even though mom and dad hadn't slept much they agreed to pose for a picture too so that you guys could see where Sebastian gets all of his cuteness...

Seriously, how can two people in desperate need of sleep look so camera ready? lol!

Then mom and dad helped Sebastian look through some of his cards...

Sebastian really needed to sleep, but was forcing himself to stay awake because he didn't want to miss anything we were talking about so we decided it was time to leave. Mom and dad needed to get some rest too! Sebastian gave in to the sleep monster before we were even out of the door, but thanks to you guys, he has plenty of goodies to keep him busy when he wakes up.
