Our little trooper!

What a day.  Poor Joe Sung Min must have had a sense of foreboding last night - he had a horrible night sleep, a rarity for the "Dozer".  He was up twice last night and not too thrilled to be getting up at 5:30 so we could get to the Cleveland Clinic by 6:30.


His was the first surgery of the day and things couldn't have gone better.  No lines, no waiting and a relatively quick stint in the recovery room.  He was a real trooper who quickly won over the hearts of anyone he met. In fact, he was given a new nickname by the registrar that confirmed our insurance information.  She looked at him and said, "Mmmm, mmmm, that boy is JUICY.  Just LOOK at those cheeks."  And so, "Juicy Joe" was born.  We also added "Dos Equis" to the mix since they marked his face with two x's, one above each eyebrow.  


I'm happy to report that Joe is doing very well.  He had a three hour nap this afternoon, wasn't too thrilled with his dinner of crackers, teething biscuits and rice (especially since Brian had made some delicious bulgogi, more kimchi fried rice and pajeon, a Korean scallion pancake - each with their respective dipping sauces.) He was ready for some real food!!  After dinner we played for a little bit (he sure loves Charlie Brown!), gave him his eye drops and he was ready for bed early.  He was definitely in good spirits and chatting up a storm.  By tomorrow, he should be back to his usual energy and personality. 


We appreciate all your prayers and well wishes - things couldn't have gone better and we look forward to what the future holds for our little man.
