Tubes

Carter got his tubes on Wednesday morning at 6:45 and I am so glad it's over! For 3 weeks I have been worried about keeping him well so he doesn't turn up with a fever the day before or the day of surgery. As some of you read in previous posts, our insurance is changing as of April 1st and we NEEDED to have this surgery done on March 31st. Praise God that he was well and just fine to go through with the surgery. The Dr. said that Carter had some fluid in his ears that he suctioned out and everything looked great. It was a breeze and we were home within 2 hours.
One change I have noticed is that Carter no longer wakes up from his naps (or in the morning) crying. That used to be an everyday thing for us, and I was never really sure why he was so upset when he woke up. I thought it might have been because of fluid in his ears but I wasn't sure...now I'm sure! I love waking up in the morning to hearing him chatter to himself in his bed, rather than bloody murder screaming, it's nice :)
I took some picture at Children's South while we were waiting for him to be taken back. It is so kid friendly there and every one who worked there was fabulous. So, if your baby needs tubes, tell your pediatrician to send you to a doctor at Children's South, they will really take care of you!

The picture above is after they brought him back to me. He was pitiful, but the nurse said when they are coming out of the anesthesia they are confused so sometimes they get a little upset. After about 10 minutes and cartoons in the car he was much better.

Thanks for all the prayers!
