Byron was great going in

At about 7:30 am, Bob went in to the surgery theater with Byron.  They put Byron on a warm air bed as the room was very cold.  He was relaxed and asking everyone whether they were going to put him to sleep now.  He had a case of the hiccups at this point.  As soon as the anesthesia mask went on his face, the hiccups increased.  He said "It's not working!" A second later he was asleep.  We should get an update from the surgery by phone soon.
