Michael arrived to the hospital and loved playing in the toy room.  He, mom, and dad all were wearing his special walk shirts (which he was hesitant to trade in for tiger pajamas).  Michael got a little medicine that prepared him for the anesthesia before Meg and Tom took him into the operating room (or, as the anesthesiologist called it, the spaceship).  They said it could be as late as 2:00 PM before he's out.

Meg has already started decorating Michael's room with pictures and a giant card that everyone signed at his party.  His stuffed animals, books, guitar, and new turtle are all here to make Michael's room a comforting place.  

Thanks for the prayers and love.
