This is how Eli woke up...
This has actually been his "awake" face since surgery. :*(
The incision...
Closer view...
Resting peacefully after I tired him out by giving him a bath, redressing him, making him sit up and walk by himself. Yes, this wiped him right out!

More Pics... He's having a rough go of it right now

Eli's FABULOUS day nurse! We wish you were here all night!
Eli flushed and feeling quite crummy! Still swollen.
"Tornado" helps ease the pain!
Poor kid has pain from head...............
to toe!

Eli before and after surgery... same day.

After surgery with his super cool prayer blanket.
3 hours after surger with his ULTRA COOL neurosurgeon, Dr. Sood! Look at him trying to smile, what a guy!
See the little holes in his head behind his ear? This is how they halo him on the operating table.

On Vacation at the Frankenmuth Lodge...

We got to pick and KEEP our own golf balls!
"I'm a sports guy!" Eli says.
A whoopee cushion and a blue monkey, can life get any better?
