What a Trooper!

Can you believe he would smile for a picture only about 20 minutes after waking up!?!

Brandon did so great for his surgery today! All morning, right up to the point where the doctor takes him back to the operating room and Mike & I had to say see ya later, he was telling us how nervous he was. We had to wait about an hour and a half after getting to the hospital. For about the last 15 minutes, he got to play the Wii, but the rest of the time was hard.

When the surgery was over, the doc came to tell us that his ears were really full of fluid and infected. He had to suction out the gunk before he could even insert the tubes. His adenoids were pretty big...more than average. So, we made the right choice to have this done.

Daddy feeding him his rootbeer slushie.

Brandon woke right up and was doing great! Perfect patient!

Such a sweetie!

I had to take him to the bathroom while we were still in recovery and he was giggling at how much he had to pee. He kept asking when it would stop! Guess that's what happens when you get pumped full of fluids! He had to go again before we left the hospital and even on the way home! That made us laugh....

He's done really well at home, too. He just played the Wii game we bought him as incentive to go through with the surgery. We told him he could have it right when he woke up and he remembered. And he was just jumping around a minute ago like a normal day! I, on the other hand, feel wiped out. I think I was really stressed about it and now I'm just crashing. Our cute friend, Nicole, brought us dinner. The girls are having a sleep over at Scott & Kellie's and Mike went to a party we were invited to....so, I'm going to try to talk the patient into watching a movie and snuggling with his Mommy!
