Toy Story


Have you seen Toy Story 3?  Fabulous.

This has been a week we never imagined.  We've survived, and our happy, healthy boy is back from his rough bout with pneumonia.  We are unbelievably grateful to our friends for helping us out and taking care of Zac during his time of illness when we were unable to be with him.  Leaving your son for two days is hard enough, but leaving him when he is sick is something I hope I don't ever have to do again.

So, back to Toy Story.  Karen Summerhays took Zac in for a follow-up appointment.  Zac was anxious, because the previous three trips to the doctor brought him nothing but shots, X-rays, and worst of all, urine samples.  The nurses came in and needed to do an oxygen test on him.  Zachary did not want the monitor on his finger, so the nurse was great and asked to put it on his Woody toy.  Zac loved that, and when she was finished, he said, "On Buzz now?"  The nurse obliged, and put the monitor on Buzz.    To everyone's surprise, a pulse and oxygen level were present for Buzz.  The nurses were freaking out and exclaiming, "Buzz is alive!  Buzz is alive!"  So, it turns out that toys are alive and fooling us all.

The part about Buzz, not the part about Zac being sick.

Of course you weren't referring to Zac's illness. Ha! The nurses really were freaking out. They said they do this on toys all the time, and it shows up blank on the monitors.
