May 10th Camden had surgery to place tubes in his ears- he's been struck with so many ear infections over the last 9 months we decided that tubes were the way to go. We had to get up so early to be at the surgery center by 6:30am (was about 45 min away). Cam couldn't eat/drink before so the poor little guy was so hungry.
We had to wait about an hour in pre-op before his surgery. Even though we brought a few toys/books, it wasn't enough to occupy this active toddler. The (new, clean!) puke bowls became a fun new toy.
When it was time for surgery a nice nurse came and took Camden back to the OR. He eagerly went to her... until he discovered that she was taking him away from us. We waited maybe 10 min and then the dr was already out to talk to us. Said everything went great. We had to wait about 10 more min until they woke him up before we could see him. He was not a happy camper to wake up feeling so funny and not have his Mommy and Daddy there. He clung to me for the half hour we waited in recovery. Every time a nurse came near he freaked out. He juggled his teddy, sippy cup, Popsicle, and his paci while crying the whole time.
The tears didn't stop till we got to the car and he was sure we were right there with him. He was out like a light for the 45 min drive home. After returning home he had some breakfast and was off to play with his brother in no time!
