Zeke in the Pre-Op room before surgery

Aunt Annessa and Cousin Shelby stopped to visit

 Resting in his room after surgery

 The red mark on his chin is because he spent so much time on his stomach during the final stages of surgery. It was already fading away by last night.

Update:

Last night, Zeke had ice chips, a popsicle and some apple juice.

This morning, he's already progressed to pancakes! The surgeon stopped by this morning and said everything looks great. She was also excited to see that there wasn't as much swelling as they usually anticipate. Steve's still at the hospital and said Zeke had a good night and got some rest (Zeke, not Steve :) The baby and I will bring lunch over at noon and then stay for the evening. If Zeke wants someone to stay tonight, I'll take my turn.
