Surgery

Well, we are already home from Jackson's surgery this morning and everything went well. I want to thank everyone for your prayers, I know it helped me remain calm and helped everything to go smoothly this morning.

We arrived at the hospital at 5:30 am and surgery was at 7:00 am. Jackson was very sleepy, but he stayed awake even until they took him away for surgery. They gave him a little medicine to make him groggy at about 6:30 and he didn't get too loopy as I have heard others have done, but he just got kinda sleepy.

They took him for surgery at 7:00 am and he was back in my arms at about 7:20am so it was very fast. The ENT came back after surgery and said that he commented to the anesthesiologist that this was definitely the right surgery as BOTH of Jackson's ears were infected.

Jackson came back screaming and took just a little while to settle down. Once he could have his bottle he was a lot happier. He is now sleeping peacefully in his crib and hopefully the doctor said he should be himself this afternoon!! I can't wait for his ear pain to be gone and to hopefully have the end of ear infections for this little boy. He did great this morning!! Thanks again for your prayers and I'll try to keep you updated!
