Kane and I were at the Alberta Children’s Hospital this week for his dental surgery. His surgery was cancelled in April due to COVID, but because of his heart issues he was a high priority.
It felt a bit strange to be there because of the fact that every one of Kane’s other five surgeries having been at the Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton.
I’m all out of words right now, but images help me process. So here’s a little visual story…
Kane and Daddy outside of the hospital. COVID means only one parent is able to attend. 
Kane is pretty relaxed in hospital settings. He was exploring and joking around with his nurse. 
We spent some time reading about his favourite character, Dogman. 
Both Kane and Horse occasionally wore masks. 
But Kane made sure to take great care of Horse. 
After his pre-medication, Kane was having trouble staying upright. 
Two extractions and seven caps later…. 
Post-op, Kane wasn’t feeling so great. 
But a little quality screen time helped him out. 
The nurse made sure Kane got her favourite kind of popsicle. Another surgery down.
Kane’s doing really well. Not so impressed with all the hardware in his mouth, but he’s not in any pain.
He also took a couple photos to add to our Together diptych project.
