The surgery has started

After getting checked in we were taken back to pre-op where we hung out and played ball with Charlie. He was surprisingly really happy and didn't fuss or cry at all. I know he was hungry and tired but he was a trooper. We met with anesthesia, the nurses and Dr. Hoffman. Charlie got a spiffy gown and socks and I got a "bunny suit" so that I could go into the OR with him while they put him to sleep. Right around 7:30am we were taken back to the OR. They asked me to lay him on the operating table and he immediately started crying. He cried the whole time they had the mask on his face. Next time they said I can hold him while they put him to sleep. Once he was asleep (it only took a minute or so) they had me leave. They are going to start an IV and then the procedure should be about 90 minutes. He plans on placing two expanders, one at the back and one on the side that extends to his forehead. Once he's finished and wakes up they said we should only have to stay an hour or so. He needs to eat and drink a little and then we can go home.
