Ear Tubes!

Yesterday I took Jaden to Children's Hospital to get his ear tubes! He was so brave and did a great job! I could tell he was so nervous and on the verge of tears a few times, but he sucked it up and put on a very brave face. When it came time to go back to the operating room he wanted me to go with him, so I put on my "hot" white jump suit and hair net and away we went! When we walked through the door I got nervous for him, but he hopped up on the table without a fight, put the mask on and within seconds he was off in dream land! The procedure only took about 10 minutes and then he was back. Hopefully things will get better with his hearing and allergies!! I thought having a little surgery would maybe slow him down for a day or two but that was wishful thinking. He's back to being his crazy self!!! You are a brave boy Jader bug!!

The next day at school, he told his teacher the day he had surgery was his "lucky day" because he got a stuffed whale, stickers, and a popsicle!

I am glad to hear that he did well. That is nice they let you go back there with him. I still have visions of when they took my almost one year old from my arms and he was crying so hard for me. You were probably more tired then he was that day, it is crazy how that kind of thing doesn't stop kids to much. Have a great day!
