As the title states, Ethan needed to have another minor surgery recently. He had to have tubes put back in his ears, since one of them fell out. This time however, the doctor decided to remove his adenoids as well as replacing the tubes It's not a really serious or invasive surgery or anything, but it's never fun watching your child get anthesized. Ethan did very well with the whole ordeal. Mommy stayed home with Violet, and Daddy and Ethan took the trip over to the hospital. He was a very good boy before the surgery, and he played really well in the exam room. He really loves using the stethescope, and they had a real one in the room! When it was time, he held the nurses hand and walked down into the operating room. Daddy gave him a kiss on the cheek as they gave him the gas, and he was out in 10 seconds. He was a little confused and cranky in the recovery room after the procedure. He and Daddy snuggled under some warmed blankets, and it wasn't until the arrival of the Italian ice that he started to turn it around and get back to normal. It took approximatly 2 cups of cherry ice to get him ready to go home. Before we left, the doctor told us to make sure he takes it easy for some time after the surgery, and that lasted about an hour. As soon as his anethesia wore off completely, he was back to his normal dare-devil self. He was definatly uncomfortable for a few days after the surgery, but now he seems 100% healed.
