1st surgery

So today we had a fun experience with Ayden. We got to take him in for surgery to have tubes in his ears. We have been battling ear infections since he was 3 months old and he has been on all kinds of antibiotics so finally the doctors said it was time for tubes (I said this three months ago but oh well, they don't have to live with the poor kid) .
So we got to get up at 5am and go to the hospital. Ayden couldn't eat anything after midnight and he only had a little water at about 2am so I was thinking he was going to be a bit grouchy but as you can see at 6am he was pretty chipper. They were trying to get the SP02 monitor on his toe and he hates having his toes touched (he gets that from me), so it took about 10 minutes to get an accurate reading. We finally got it and then he was the 1st surgery scheduled for the day. He was pretty styln' in his baby hosptal gown (they definitly do not look this good on adults).

He started gettting hungry right before they came and took him but he held it together prettty well. The nurse took him off to surgery and he didn't even care. The surgery took about 10 minutes and the doctor came out and told us everthing went well and that he had a lot of thick fluid behind his ear drum. He was in recovery for 2 minutes (until they were sure he was breathing well) and then they brought him back out. He was mad but not as bad as I thought he was going to be and he calmed down in about 5 minutes.
Here's an after shot, leaving the hospital. He slept all the way home, woke up ate a little breakfast played for a bit and now he is taking another nap. I wish I could recover that fast. We will see how he does as the day continues! I hope it will help him sleep better at night. That is my greatest wish!! :) But we are really happy all went well today! Now hopefully he can start to hear all his words better, the doctor said he has been hearing like he is underwater all the time.
