So we arrived at the Lake Surgery Center at 7:15 am, Kate was slated for 8:15 and Luke 8:30, and they weren't far off on their timing. It took 11, yes ELEVEN minutes for Doc to replace Kate's tubes, is that not crazy?!! :) Luke took a little longer - about 25 minutes, 25 mere minute to place tubes and remove adenoids. My, how far medical practices have come.
Luke waiting for pre-op.
They brought us a travel DVD player with a choice of Bert and Ernie or Barney - this was her deciding which to watch.
watchin' Bert and Ernie
The cute little bears that the surgery center gave the kiddos - Kate picked the white one- her name? "My bear" :)
needless to say he was starving afterwards - this was at 9:45 - he hadn't eaten since 2:00 a.m.
even eating did not make coming out of anesthesia any easier. My poor baby boy cried more the 45 minutes following surgery than he has in his whole 8 3/4 months of life. :(
and his sissy was not happy about it, she didn't cry at all about surgery but was visibly upset that her 'bubba' was crying
While I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel, the past few nights have been hard - not with Kate, as she came through with flying colors, but poor Luke has not been sleeping well, has run a mild fever, and is still majorly congested without the benefit of the nasal aspirator due to adenoid procedure. All in all though, we are doing good:) thanks for all the prayers and well wishes!
