A Patient Named Lachlan

Lachlan was in the hospital this week for a "small" procedure to repair a hernia in his stomach wall. They gave him a special hospital gown and trousers with orange tigers all over them. Lachlan was very brave.

The operation took longer than anyone expected, even the doctor. After the procedure Lachlan took a nap in the recovery room.
That night Lachlan slept in his own bed. He hugged his new stuffed Nemo. He didn't wake up all night.
The next day Lachlan was swollen but smiling. He played with Nemo and James, his new red train. He called his sisters with Skype and Facetime.
The day after that he danced and laughed and ran laps around the apartment.
