Makes me sad to say that Kayson has officially had two - TWO sets of ear tubes as of this morning. Big bummer. We've said from the beginning of the ear infection saga --- he has his Daddy's ears (Daddy --- 5 sets of tubes as a kid!!!) I'd prefer to stick to just two! ;)
We had the tube surgery this morning - 6 am we had to be at the surgery center. We waited... and the wait went well. Kayson did great... then the anethesiaologist came in and swooped him away. Even the second time seeing that - it sucks too! I think this time around - knowing what to expect - was almost worse. We knew exactly how things would go, how long we would wait, etc... and seeing it happen again just plain sucks.
After the short procedure - again, waited about 6 minutes or so?! We met with the doc, then another 5 minutes went by and we got to hold our son... our sad, out of it, crying, scared, eyes glossed over son. That sight sucks too!! We were in recovery room for a little while trying to get K to recognize that Daddy and Mommy were there... he was confused... it took awhile, then the nurse asked if we wanted to leave - I said 'Yes'. We headed home... and this recovery at home didn't last near as long as the first time... he fussed and was still out of sorts, etc... but it just seemed smoother... maybe because we knew what to expect and how to handle it. Kayson rested for about an hour and a half... then was up and ready to go. He still was a little 'clingy', but he helped outside for a bit, ate a good lunch, and now has been sleeping for about 2 and a half hours. He should be back to himself once he wakes...
I'm thankful this morning is over... and he's fine... now we just wait and hope to God that these tubes don't get clogged and do their job!
Ryan and I are off for our anniversary dinner tonight... really looking forward to some alone time. ;)
