wore his Batman jammies to his surgery today. He had to have ear tubes put back in and his adenoids taken out. His attitude and demeanor were priceless. We was so calm and relaxed as we changed him into his gown and he crawled up into the bed. He decorated his hat (as seen above) and wanted to know why his bed only had rails on one side. His Grandma and Grandpa Lo (nickname for my parents) came to see him and got a kick out of his laidbackness. We walked with him as they wheeled him to the O.R. then kissed him goodbye, he was too busy getting to hit the button to make the doors open to even worry about leaving us behind. The surgery went well, we were informed that he has 'weakened eardrums' and will have to have his hearing tested again before kindergarten just to see if there's any hearing impairment.
At his last appointment we had to watch some videos on the procedures and it was funny realizing how much he had absorbed. One night at my parents house he put a small round, white lid on his forehead and found a headband to hold it in place. He went around telling us he was Dr. Schwartz and after checking my ears informed me that I had to have tubes, that I couldn't eat or drink after midnight and that I couldn't leave the hospital for 4 or 5 days. This morning in the waiting room he asked for a drink and when I reminded him that he couldn't have anything before his surgery he simply replied, "I know, I just really hate that part!"
He was anxious to leave the surgery center since Jason had told him he could get a 'kid' video game for the XBox. He was so tired when we got home that he fell asleep with them tucked under his arm. After a good nap, him and I figured out how to hook the XBox up and I played my first video game, he thought it was pretty cool having me play with him! He took another long nap and then had a blast playing with the new toys his Grandma's bought him.
He also constantly asks me if his voice sounds different now that his ear tubes are in...Another little mixed-up piece he picked up from the videos!

Oh my gosh! How brave of him (and you!). I know what it feels like to hand your son over to someone else. It sure feels good to get them back!! So glad that everything went well. Hopefully this will be the end to some of his ear troubles. See you guys soon.
That is really cute. Tell him i said good job.
Amy Amy Amy... This isn't a comment about this post but a comment on your little saying, "Stay at home mom of three, never to be four." Amy! This drives me insane! I know it doesn't bother you, but it bloody bothers me! I know we've had this convo before but what if you were meant to have four? I guess if you are meant to have more children, this tubal will fail or however you call it. I don't know, it just bothers me that you are so blunt about it. But Hey... it's not my problem right. It would just mean more kids to babysit, am i right?
He's too cute and I LOVE the Batman jammies. Where did you find them? I remember when Davis had his tubes put in that things sounded differently to him. BTW, I LOVED holding your baby the other day. I totally need some more of that...whenever you'll let me. :)
What a trooper! He is so adorable. I'm glad everything went well.
Spencer is so funny. I love hearing stories about him at work.
You know what I don't love? When people put a black widow on my computer desk at work. You should punish him in some way for me.
