Here are a few more pictures of Jonathan from the morning he had surgery. He's doing so well. He was extremely sore the day after, but has improved each day after that. On Friday, he started standing up and walking straight, but we still kept him out of school all day. I stayed home the day of the surgery as well as 1/2 a day on Wednesday. Nathan was able to be with him here at home the rest of the time. My mother in law came and helped on Friday. Yesterday he was able to play around at Sci Port and today he even ran a little outside (made me nervous!) and went to church this morning and choir tonight.
Waiting for his anesthesia before going to surgery. He was so calm with a little help from his Nintendo DS! 
Jonathan has had this little dog since he was 9 months old. His name is Chris. My cousins Nancy and Chris who lived in Boulder, CO brought it to Jonathan when they came to Cheyenne for a visit. That was when he was 9 months old and he hasn't been without Chris since! It was funny too...when I asked Jonathan what the dog's name was, after he'd had it a few days, he said, "Chr" hence his name...and it was so suiting since Chris brought it to him! Isn't it cute how they masked him?!
Right after coming 'to'. Poor guy had just thrown up...he was so sick!
Coming home!
When we got home, there were some of the sweetest gifts waiting for us. Courtney, Jonathan's good friend and our next door neighbor had given him a balloon, some markers, and a card. His other good friends, Geoffery and Matthew had give him a bag of his favorite treats (Doritos, Fruit Roll Ups, Reese's cups, and Little Debbie football brownies) and a neat big Star Wars coloring book. That Geoffery is so smart and attentive! He noticed what Jonathan brought in his lunch each day so he knew exactly what he loved! Thanks also to our sweet friends who prayed, called, visited, and emailed. Our sweet neighbor, Chrissy brought us dinner...twice! Our other sweet neighbor Alicia gave us Baskin Robbins certificates. Thanks so much!
