The Procedure
On Monday October 5th we took Adam in for his endoscopy biopsy. He wasn't allowed to eat any breakfast and was asking about it a little on the car ride to the hospital. He was otherwise happy and pointing out every cool car he saw as we drove past them.
When we got there we had to wait around for a little while. He was weighed, which he doesn't like and then they put a hospital band on his wrist which he really didn't like!
Then we brought him in to the operating room. Cory sat on the bed with Adam in his lap and held his arms down so they could put the mask on him to make him fall asleep for the procedure. Adam screamed and cried so loud, it made me so sad to see him so scared and upset. Finally he fell asleep. The part that really made me choked up was when I was leaving I kissed him and saw him breathing peacefully but he still had a tear in the corner of his eye.
The whole procedure only took about 15 minutes. They rolled him into the recovery room where we waited patiently for him to
wake up.
When he finally woke up, he was quite upset. And when he woke up he woke up fast and suddenly. The nurse went to get a popsicle, in case his throat was a little sore. At first he rejected it but then realized he was hungry and took it.
On the way home he kept shouting "Daddy... uh food!!" We kept trying to ask him what kind of food and such things and he would yell NO! He was beyond hungry. We drove through the drive-thru at Burger King and got him chicken nuggets and french fries. He was very happy and scarfed every bit of it down. Those were probably the last BK chicken nuggets he'll ever have again. Now he is on a Gluten-Free diet for the rest of his life. We are glad that he is going to be okay and that he will heal.

Such a cutie! We are so glad that he ok and can be treated by eating gluten free. A tough thing to have but so glad it wasn't anything more serious!
He is such a sweetheart. There are 2 families in my ward that only eat gluten free food... they have TONS of recipes, they're even coming out with a relief society cookbook with an entire section for gluten free. I will make sure to get you copies of them all. They made chili and it was delicious! Love you Kris!!

Poor little guy! Glad he's doing better! Do you guys have a super walmart? Ours has a pretty big gluten-free section now-a-days. Good luck!
