Down the Tubes

Ryan had tubes put in his ears today. We had to be at the hospital at 8 this morning and we just let him go in his pj's. The hardest part was he couldn't have anything to eat or drink after midnight last night. I woke him up right before we headed out the door so he wouldn't even have a chance to think about breakfast.

This is Ryan sitting with dadda before they called us back. He was so good with the nurses and he definitely turned on his charm.

They took him back at 9:10 and his doctor came in at 9:20 to tell us he did great and that we could see him in recovery in a few minutes. Matt barely had enough time to refill his coffee before they called us back. It's such a fast and easy procedure. The paperwork honestly takes longer than the whole procedure.

He was pretty upset and crying when we first saw him. He was sucking his thumb and totally guzzled his juice down. We had to stay in recovery about 30 min. so that they could monitor him. He calmed down once we were in the car on the way home.
We came home and ate some yogurt then Ryan went down for a nap.

It was a very easy procedure. I'm just hoping and praying that we begin to see changes in him over the next few weeks. And hopefully no more awful ear infections.
