What a day!

This morning at 5:30 I packed my little Fletcher snuggly in the car and headed to his ear surgery appointment.  When we got there he was as happy as could be... not having any clue what was about to happen to him.  I felt pretty guilty! As we met with the Dr. he was still happy checking out all the other kids that were there waiting for the same procedure.  Once they started to take him from me, he got a little scared and started to cry... which of course made me tear up a little.  Poor little boy! As I waited in the recovery waiting room, the nurses brought a couple of other kids out to their parents... screaming and crying.  I was really nervous how Fletch was going to handle the whole thing.  Then out they came with my sweet little boy, still a little sleepy from the anesthesia, but not crying or screaming, just saying owie every now and then while pointing to his ears.  I felt so bad for him.  The nurses kept telling me that he won't really be in pain, it will just feel different to him.  I think he was in pain! They gave him some juice and we sat there for a while until they said we were ok to leave.  After we got in the car, I called Treven at work to tell him how it all went.  He asked if he could talk to Fletch, so I gave him the phone.  I don't know what Treven was saying, but all I could hear was Fletcher say Daddy, and tears started rolling down his cheeks.  He was trying to be so brave.  Needless to say... I was tearing up again.  I was nervous about how he would be the rest of the day, but as soon as we got home and he was with Joss and Ev for a while, he bounced right back to his normal rambunctious self!  I just hope that these tubes will make a big difference and help him to hear better.  

Parker is really excited this afternoon too, because the Eye Dr. called to let us know that his glasses are ready to be picked up.  He can hardly wait!
