Christophers Surgery

We got to the ambulatory center at 7:45, it was hard since he could not eat since the night before but he was fine and spent some time playing with all the toys they had there. They took him in at 8:45, it was actually fun to see him "loopy" on valium before that! he was making animal sounds and being really silly! He was in surgery till almost 9:30, and then we got to go see him in the recovery area, he didn't stay asleep long but he was really cranky once he woke up. They had to remove a lot of fluid from his ears, they put in the new tubes and then removed his adenoids that were enlarged. He did fine with the anestesia and breathing tube and stuff, he was more traumatized about waking up with the IV still in his leg and the heart monitor on his toe....that made him straight up mad. It took him a while to start eating and drinking again, but now he's back to his old self! He actually spent some time outside chasing his brothers around too! it's amazing how these kids snap out of it! I was such a mess this morning! but i'm soo glad it's over and that we did it, so now he can be "normal" again, and regain his hearing and his balance! my poor baby!
