Tube Day

Today, my little buddy had tubes put in his ears! Hopefully, by doing this, we will prevent those awful ear infections! We went in at 6:45 and checked in, Cash went in in good spirits! He was laughing and playing with his La La! They called our name and we went back to the pre-op room and that's when he realized he probably wasn't going to like what was happening. The Dr. came in and explained to us the exact procedure and how long it would take. This is the point I started crying. I just felt so bad but knew we were doing the right thing! Then the nurse came and took him from me kind of, without warning, I think she knew it was best for me and Cash! Of course, he totally lost it at that point, he was screaming my name and saying he wanted me! It literally took all I had not to run after that nurse and take him back, but again, I knew I was making the right choice by going through with the surgery. Craigan and I went to the waiting room, sat down, pulled out our phones to update everyone, and then there was the doctor! Literally, 5 minutes later, it was all over and he did wonderfully! Thank God!! I we went back to see him in recovery and he was still under anesthesia but starting to come out of it. I was holding him and rocking him, dying for him to open his eyes. And when he did, wow, he was not happy. He was swinging his fists, arching his back, and crying! Poor baby, this only lasted about 10-15 mins., and then, it was like nothing happened! By the time we got home he was totally fine! I am SO glad that's over!

Right when we got home....





Even a smile peeking through...
