Mama had the day off from work on Tuesday to take Chase for an endoscopy procedure at Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital on Kingshighway. Mama texted Nanaw that Chase was really scared about the need for the IV they were going to put in for the anaesthetic for the procedure. So, fortunately, the doctors came up with another way to do the anaesthetic. They put a mask over his face with something that smelled like pink bubble gum; this knocked him out. (Chase later told Nanaw it was something like laughing gas.)Then they were able to use the needle to insert the IV for the regular anaesthetic. Chase told Nanaw that when he woke up, he had no idea they'd already done the procedure, and he thought that was rather funny. In the afternoon, Nanaw went over to visit Chase. They watched the hockey league channel on the TV in his room and played with his stuffed animals. On the way home from the procedure, Mama got a Chik Filet sandwich for Chase but waited until later in the day to eat it. Mama had emailed Chase's teacher about getting his homework for today but the teacher said he could just make it up tomorrow. Mama and Nanaw thought that was really nice of the teacher. The first picture below is Chase at the hospital in dog and cat scrubs, playing on his phone. The second picture is Chase at home with Lars the Lemur. The third picture is one that Nanaw posted on Facebook with the following caption: "I usually can't get photos of my three cats together so I was delighted to get this one of, left to right, Charlie (the Tuxedo cat); Sidney Crosby the cat (named by Chase the hockey fan); and Taylor (the only girl in the bunch.)"
