It was a nerve-wracking day that's for sure!
We had to be at the surgery center at 6am for check in. The staff was EXTREMELY nice and was super kid friendly to Remi. The had a teddy bear waiting for him on his bed and sponge bob stickers. Every one of the staff members came and said Hello to us and told us what their 'role' was.
Before we knew it, it was time for him to go back into the OR. One of the lady nurses came to take him. Remi didn't cry when they took him away (which helped ME alot) He seemed more confused then anything. We waited in the waiting room for about 15 mins when the Doctor came and got us. We all went into a tiny room where he explained that Remis ears were super bad. They had tons of fluid and puss behind the ear drums so tubes we're an excellent choice. A few mins later, they called us back to see Rem.
That was hard.
A nurse was holding Rem. His eyes were closed, his head a floppy as a newborns and he was making the most horrible sounding cry. I sat in the recliner and held him. He was not happy, still out of it and sounded so scared. Took him about 30 mins to wake up fully and when he did, he was ready to walk around! After a few sips of apple juice, we were allowed to go home.
We were warned that Rem would be super sleepy once we got home and would most likely sleep the rest of the day. WRONG. Long story short, he was more energetic then he was the day before! All he wanted to do was play outside, eat, and dance! We even went to Lowes to get stuff for the back yard.
In just a few hours, he learned the word "truck" and "yes" ~ He seems SOO much happier already!! Tubes were a SUCCESS!!
