Cincinnati Trip #3 -- third time NOT a charm:(

Kyler, Pop and I headed off on Monday morning for Cincinnati. Kyer was excited that we were not flying this time . . he likes having Pop chauffeur us:). It was quite the whirlwind trip and seemed to Kyler as if we had no destination -- I think he likes staying in one place for our nights - this trip was driving, sleeping, driving, hospital, driving, sleeping, driving, HOME! wheh! No Cincinnati trip would be complete with out collecting happy meal toys! and by the end, Kyler had a full collection of the Battle Force 5 cars!
Our first night, we stayed outside of Louisville, KY and Kyler had a little bit of time to hit the hot tub and pool before bedtime.

My cuddle bug . . .
Before we checked in at the hospital, Kyler picked out a new lego set to keep him busy while he waited.
Remember that dangling tooth I talked about in an earlier post. . . here he is trying to pull that stubborn thing! He wanted to pull it before his surgery . . . I just knew that when he woke he would be minus a tooth -- the nurses had said they would try to pull it while he was "under" since they had to put the tubes in his mouth . . but, no luck! He was disappointed to find it was still dangling when he awoke.
Here he is waiting to go back. . . he was actually wheeled into surgery with his legos spread out on his bead and drifted off with a lego man in his hand! It was a great way to keep him occupied.
Check out his wheels! This is the wheelchair they took him to the car in . . how cool. He was a little too out of it to think it was as cool as I did!
I will do another post with all the results . . . I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with the doctor after his scope and see the pictures . . .worse . . . poor baby. We hit the road again after recovery and made it to St. Louis for the night. We finished off the trip on Wednesday and were glad to be home! Kyler and I were both quite the grouches as we re-adjusted back - and poor Kyler was exhausted. We are so lucky we had Pop to cart us around on this whirlwind, last minute trip---Thanks Pop:)! And - we are very glad to have it behind us-- we will be starting new diet changes this week and preparing for Cincinnati trip #4 . . .4's a charm?-- I certainly hope so!
