Today was the day Trevor and I went to the hospital for a tour and to find out why he gets to spend the night at the hospital. I have been dreading this day. So afraid that he may get anxious after finding out everything. He handled everything so well! He was AWESOME through the whole thing!
We started out the day by meeting with a child life specialist. We took pictures of the fish tank, then followed the purple circles back to the preop room. Trevor got to weigh himself and see how tall he was! He also got to check out the gown and socks he will be wearing. He thought that was pretty neat. The best part was the TV in the room!
He is excited to have strawberry flavor when the sleepy Dr. has him go to sleep. Also, he gets to ride on a bed with wheels! What is more fun than that? He has informed us that he will be eating 100 popsicles, along with lots and lots of pudding on his sliding tray he gets to put over his bed. He thought that was great he gets to eat in bed :)
All day he has been telling everyone what he gets to do in the hospital. Trevor also knows that the Dr needs him to be asleep so they can look inside his heart. He keeps asking when he gets to go. I told him it is still a ways out and we will let him know when it is closer. We still need to tell him that he will wake up with an IV. But that particular detail can wait until later. I hope he continues to be brave and continues to do wonderfully through this whole process.

Yep, he sounds like an otter to me!
That's great that he got a tour and he is excited to go back. :)
Jackie, you and Trevor are in our prayers this week! Trevor is so brave! Remember that much of it is because of you and the way you are helping him deal with it all.
