Luke's hernia surgery didn't hold him back one bit!

It was actually quite the task to try and get him to take it easy for a few days!

What a relief! I'm so glad everything went okay. What cute pictures of him at the hospital {and generally those two things do not go hand in hand}. I'm always so amazed at how resiliant these little ones can be.

Can't wait to see you next week! Yippee!

I know how that goes Branden had a surgery at 9 months. Kids bounce back so fast.

Poor guy. I'm glad to hear that he is doing great. What a trooper.
BTW...I LOVE Dr. Downey. He was one of the best doctors Kate had.
