1st Surgery.....

Aubrey had pressure equalizing tubes (PE Tubes) put in his ears this morning. It was a super quick out patient surgery done by his ENT at Tomball Surgery Center. This was our first surgery experience and I was just a tad bit nervous. Luckily it went really well. We got him up just as we had to leave at 6am, picked up grandma Debbie and headed to the hospital. We got to his room right away and the they had us get him in a little hospital gown. He looked super cute and really had a great attitude. I think he signed "milk" once just as it was getting closer to surgery time, so I was thankful when they came to get him and he really made it easy on me, reaching out for one of the female nurses! No crying baby reaching out for me!!! We went to the waiting room, hung out for about 15 minutes and got a great report from the Dr. He had thick fluid sucked out of his left ear, the right ear was clear and tubes put it in, with no problems. Shortly thereafter we went to find him in the recovery area. He was groggy and a bit grumpy. He fussed when we put him in the car, but luckily Grandma was able to hush him to sleep. When we got home, he had a full bottle and got up and started to play. Wow!! That was easy and I'm hoping the rest of the day continues to go well. He's taking his 2nd nap for the day right now. We are hoping the tubes help Aubrey feel better and not get ear infections every time he gets congested. We'll see how things progress.....but we sure our thankful today ended up being such an easy day!
