Poor Monkey

My poor little monkey had to have a minor surgery on Monday. He had tubes put in. Poor baby had a DOUBLE ear infection for over a month. None of the antibiotics worked on him. The last time we took him to the pediatrician, he said it was time to see an ENT.

Everything happened with it SO fast. We saw my doctor on Wednesday and the ENT on thursday and by Friday we had his surgery scheduled for EARLY Monday morning. Monday couldn't get here quick enough. Sunday night was miserable. He couldn't have anything to eat passed midnight. He still eats at about 3 am. Well, when he wanted to nurse and there was nothing I could, I felt TERRIBLE. Lets just say, I owe all my neighbors a CAKE. I'm sure they were all up with us. From 3 until we left to the surgery center at 5:30 he screamed. I felt SO helpless and SO bad for him. He was STARVING and in pain.

I was so thankful to Jons Mom and Step dad (G and Grandpa) for coming up for the surgery. My Mom wasn't able to come, so it meant a LOT they would get up as early as they did to be with us. Even though it was a minor surgery, my baby had to be put to sleep. Which made me EXTRA nervous. When they took him back, I *almost* cried, but was able to hold it together. I knew he was in great hands.

No more than 15 minutes later was he DONE and ready to EAT. God LOVE him. He was SO pitiful when they brought him to me. All discombobulated. I could hear him coming down the HALL. HAHA! I was SO ready to hold my boo and nurse him. He couldn't eat quick enough. :) (even G and Grandpa said they heard him in the waiting room!!!)

He has done SO much better since getting the tubes. I am so thankful that it was such a quick and easy process.

Thank you to those who have callled, texted or sent an email to let us know you were thinking and praying for us. Its nice to know who all is there for you when you need them.
