surgery went fine

From the way the little man is acting right now, you would never guess he had a surgery done today. We went down last night and spent the night with Arthur's mom. We could have had a better night of rest with him in his own bed now, but we encountered a few obstacles in the wee hours of the morning. We made it to Surgicare without any meltdowns for snacks or something to eat. Arthur complained more about being hungry than Turner did. He fussed a few times during pre-op but didn't put on a show like some of the other kids. They coerced him with Thomas stickers back to the OR. I held it together better than I thought I would. I read a chapter in a book to keep me preoccupied during the surgery. Dr. Wilson came to tell us everything went well and then I got fidgety waiting on the nurse to tell us to come back to recovery. I heard his cry and knew it from the others just as the nurse called us. He napped for the first hour in recovery. Once he woke up from that he was fine. The nurses bragged on how good he was. We stopped at Chick-Fil-A and Arthur and I ordered a combo but didn't order Turner anything. I didn't think he would feel like eating a meal so soon. The boy ate my entire order of waffle fries!!! And I don't think he's stopped eating all day. He has acted fine at home so far. A little drunk or drugged some times, but definitely more hyper than I expected him to be! Hopefully it will be a quick recovery and things will be better for him from now on!

surgery scheduled

We went to the ENT today. Looks like Turner needs to have tubes put in his ears and his adenoids taken out. He's scheduled for surgery next Friday the 18th. We have to be at Surgicare of Mobile at 6:30 am. It shouldn't take them more than 30 minutes. They're also going to draw some blood and do an allergy test to see if there's something going on there. So, keep the little man in your prayers for the next few weeks. Hopefully this will reduce the number of doctor visits and rounds of antibiotics and keep away the congestion and cough some.
