They had a mock operating room that Maddox got to play around in. He was very unsure about the whole visit but the truck and doctor playing helped him feel more at ease.
He also got his Beads of Courage. 
These beads are given to pediatric heart and cancer patients. They already filled out the beads they anticipated he would be getting while at the hospital. Any time we have anything else done (blood taken, echocardiogram, or something more serious) we can add a bead. I love all the details they think about in helping children go through this process.
After pre-op we went and ate lunch and spent the rest of the day playing and getting ready for surgery tomorrow.
