Carter had his adnoids removed and tubes put in. He did amazing! He wasn't allowed to eat anything after midnight, and only water or gatorade until 7am this morning. We had to be at the hospital at 8:15am, with surgery scheduled for 11:15. He was amazing! He played in the waiting room with his new "friends" and not a tear when they carried him back for surgery.
The surgery took about 40 min, start to finish. Dr. M came out and talked to us as soon as he was done, and said that Carter's ears were both both full of fluid and gunk and he should be hearing better asap.
He was somewhat agitated when we saw him in recovery, but they let me scoop him up and rock with him and that seemed to help. He slept most of the 3 hours in recovery, but did manage to drink a sippie cup of aple juice between snoozes.
We are now home and he is resting comfortably. He's sound asleep on the couch next to me. He has some bloody drainage from his ears, which is normal for a few days post op. We have an antibiotic, some ear drops, and pain meds for him and he should be good as new this weekend. Todd is staying home with him Thursday and friday while I go back to work. I think he'll be back to himself by tomorrow evening!
