Part Two - photos

Ammon looks like David in this photo. August 27, 2009
The two of us messing around while we waited (and waited) for Dad to get ready.

Dr. Marshall Smith, ENT. He knows Jason's boss, Marlin Hansen and was excited to realize that Jason works for him. In fact, these ENTs have invited Dr. Hansen to come out to SLC as a guest lecturer this winter. Jason, why don't you stow away and come with him?? This is one very competent doctor and a very good man talking to Ammon. If there was ever any question about whether Ammon is able to make his wishes known, they should have heard this conversation. He told Dr. Smith exactly what he wanted and what he expected as the outcome of this surgery. There was no doubt that Ammon was in charge here. He speaks the language of doctors better than his own peers.

This is the child-life specialist that kept Ammon entertained until surgery time.




Here is how he looked just before they came to take him back to surgery. They gave him some Versced (sp?) which relaxes them and helps them not to be so nervous. Just before he fell to sleep he told the nurse, "I feel like I.....'m.... in......a....tr..a..n...c.......e. And then he was out.
