My little man is having surgery

Tuesday L is having surgery to remove his tonsils, adenoids and to put tubes in his ears. It's an outpatient procedure (gone are the days of hospital stays like I had to endure when I got my tonsils out) at a surgery center (the latest way for doctors to rake in the dough by essentially bypassing hospitals and creating these "surgery centers" where they have all the equiptment and staff but the docs get the cash as opposed to the hospital getting the majority of the chunk and the doctor his pittance ->insert sarcasm here<-) So on Tuesday morning at 0630 we'll be in Dearborn awaiting surgery with a very scared 6 y/o. I can only hope that they insert the I.V. AFTER he's drugged up with some happy meds. I'm not sure I can handle his screams if they don't. They did it soooooooooo perfect at U of M when he had his hydrocele surgery. That's why I want to work there, they're perfection when it comes to kids.

Anyway, if you're the praying type, would ya put in a good word for an uneventful, safe procedure with the Big Guy? I'd be grateful!
