Luke had to go to the hospital 2 weeks ago with Pneumonia and Asthma. It came on very quickly, and as unenjoyable the hospital visit was for US, he enjoyed every little part. We got there with a warm greeting, and a room right across from the nursing station. They were excited to see such a perky little sick child. He was very cooperative to let them do all his vitals, and loved helping them with the stethoscope. His first field trip was to the x-ray area. They pulled him in a wagon, as he greeted everyone like he was in a float, with a little wave and hi as he passed. He can be very shy at times, but really enjoyed this part. I was not allowed to go in since I am pregnant, and Keith hadn't got to the hospital yet, so he was very cooperative "getting his picture taken" and receiving a new stuffed animal. The x-ray tech said he said "cheese" at one point.
Luke ended up having to stay over night and most of the day on Tuesday, but he did great. The student nurses came in and played blocks, and he got to order all his favorite foods whenever he wanted. When he started feeling better, Luke would stand at the door of the room and look at the nursing station and say "Hey Guys" and wave to them.
He is recovered quickly, and is back to his normal self, but he does ask to go see "Nurse Francis" about every few days. Since he went to St. Francis, he must have thought they all had the same name because everytime he had a breathing treatment he would say "Tank you Francis" when they were done.

I think it's so funny that he was such a fan of the hospital. Cute pictures!
I love the Nurse Francis part!!
Lol. That last part is hysterical!
I am out of the loop and did not even know he was sick! Glad he is doing better now.
I see that Luke has already learned the "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade" lesson. Great post, Mama. You may be raising a future doctor!
Did they expect him to eat that big plate of peanut butter(?) sandwiches?
Love the pictures and the post!
Love, L.L.
adorrrrrrable!
