after evan had gotten numerous ear infections in a short time {and before the really bad sick season had even started}, we took him to an ent who recommended he get tubes to help his ears drain. evan had the surgery a week ago and has been perfectly fine since about 30 minutes after!!!
we had to get there at 6am which meant getting the little guy in the car at 515. i was hoping i would be able to do it without waking him up but no such luck. he also couldn’t have food or drink after midnight which made me a little nervous because he always wakes up and downs an entire sippy of water. luckily, he was a trooper and although he asked for his “dink,” he was a good sport about not getting it. the staff was AMAZING and kept him entertained the entire time we were in pre-op. when it was his turn to go back, they got him loaded into a car and took him back. he never looked back which i was so incredibly grateful for!!! 20 minutes later, dr. ashe came out to let us know everything had gone great! he had two more ear infections which we would have antibiotics for but other than that, we were good to go!! i was so happy to see my little guy. when we went back, he was sitting in a nurses lap, eyes closed, draining his sippy cup. that’s my kid!!! he was a little fussy for about 20 minutes but then was good to go and asking to eat on the way home – haha!!
we played all morning, ate lunch, and then evan took a 4 hour nap. unfortunately we could only sleep part of it so we were a little tired the rest of the day but at least he was happy!!
he was feeling so good, we took a walk to the neighborhood playground. can you tell he had surgery that morning??
and the morning after…
