Tubes...Finally

After a rough winter with ear infection after ear infection, Ethan finally got tubes to help drain the fluid from his ears. We woke up earlier Wednesday morning, and drove to Texas Children's Hospital. The first picture is him looking out over the med center. This day was the first day in months that it actually rained--who would have thought we would see rain again in Houston! He couldn't eat or drink anything, and his surgery wasn't until 9:15. We had to get there are 7:00, luckily the waiting room was stacked with toys. He never even realized that he hadn't eaten anything. He did great--Mom and Dad did too! There were no tears from him when the doctor took him from me. I couldn't watch as they walked him back. They said he was wonderful. He went in about 9:00, and by 9:45, they had come to the waiting room to get Chris and I. We got home about noon. I thought he was going to sleep most of the day, but as you can see from the last picture...that wasn't quite the case...

His Texas Children's scrubs were so big on him, but he looked super cute.Sleeping it off in Daddy's arms! 10:30 They told us he couldn't go home until he either ate a Popsicle, or drank two more ounces of juice. Chris and I couldn't get him to wake up. The nurse finally had to force feed him the Popsicle, so they could have our bed space for the next kid. :)

Back to himself by 12:30!
