Surgery

Birk just went in for surgery.  We were scheduled for 11:00, and they took us back at 11:30.  What a long time for a poor little guy to go w/o breakfast.  He did good, considering.  Nick carried him back and he was armed with his SpongeBob pillow and his Bebe (blanket).  Nick held him as I held his head while they put him to sleep.  As a parent NOTHING can prepare you for that feeling.  Even though I know he is just sleeping, it seems surreal and it brings me to tears.  They told us about 50 minutes or so....
