Surgery Survival!!

Well, we all survived! We got up really early this morning and took Carson to Lakeview Hospital in Bountiful, where Dr. Skedros put another set of tubes in Carson's ears, and took his adnoids out. Carson was so happy when we got there, even though it was early! He was good to let the nurse take all of his vitals, and he loved the gown he got to wear. It was so cute, they gave him a cute blue teddy bear, which carson named "Tom". While we had to wait for them to come and get Carson, we used Tom as a ball and played catch in the room. Carson had a blast with that! Sad to say though, Carson was not nearly as happy coming out of surgery as he was going in! He was pretty disoriented from the anesthesia, and we couldn't get him to calm down. He just kept saying "Home, Home..." so rather than staying the recommended hour or so to monitor him, they let us take him home earlier, which was nice since he calmed down as soon as we got in the car. The doctor said his ears looked pretty bad, and his adnoids were pretty big, so he is expecting Carson to do very well now that we have new tubes and his adnoids out. We have a check up in 3 weeks, and tomorrow we are going in to have the Audiologist make him some custom ear plugs that he can wear whenever he baths or goes swimming. Now that it has been a few hours since the procedure, he is happy as he normally is, and is playing with his play kitchen right now. Dad is working up in the nursery trying to get some finishing touches on it, so we can finally get the crib set up, and put it all together! :)

Just an update....we have scheduled a CSection for next Wed, Jan 30th at 7:30 AM. (I have to be there at 5:30.....early for me, but that is sleeping in for Nick). I have a few appts between now and then, and we hope to be able to find any signs that I can just go on my own, but if not, Wednesday it will be! I will keep you all posted! Have a fun weekend!!
