Colonoscopy for a 5 year old

Poor baby Hayes had to have a colonoscopy.  He was a CHAMP and the BEST!!!!

He had to go all of Sunday with nothing but clear liquids.  He did not complain at all about not being able to eat anything although I know he was hungry.  He did not complain about all the potty breaks he was having to have either.  He was so brave.

We got to the hospital at 7:30 Monday morning and he was a little scared.  He took his giggle juice though and fell asleep and never knew anything else that happened until he woke up in recovery.

I told him that if he would wake up and drink some gatorade we could go home.  He said, "no, first we go to McDonald's and then we go to the store and get me a cake." Of course, I have promised him anything he wanted to eat that day and those were his requests.  So, we went to McDonald's and he ate it all and was fine.

Then, we got some cookies and he was great.  That afternoon, he said we need to go to the store and get some things.  I asked what he wanted and he said "I will know when we get there." Ok, off we went and I think he picked more sugary things than ever.  Because, I let him of course.

I mean really, the kid had just had a procedure that are meant for 50 year olds.  He got whatever he wanted.

Thankfully, everything was normal and he is a happy, healthy little boy.  Whew!
