My mom slept over so she could be here with the kids in the morning when we took Harrison to the hospital for his surgery early in the morning. They gave him a sedative to help him relax. It put me back to when Calvin was in the hospital for his wrist surgery. That was a more scary thing and was an accident. I still didn't like the idea of Harrison getting tubes but if it helped his healing and hearing I want to do it.
When he returned from Surgery he was very loopy and didn't have much control of his muscles yet. He was falling over in his bed when he sat up and wanted water really badly. He got his cup refiled and was guzzling.
After that he was very upset and was angry. He did not like it. Poor thing. The doctor said his ear drums were bad, basically mush and she put extra stuff around one of the tubes to hopefully keep it in. Hmm...is this really going to work is my thoughts. He suffered some for a while. But by day 2 he seemed to be okay.
I am grateful that I was able to miss work in order to be there with Mommy and Harrison today. Harrison was very excited and happy bright and early in the morning. It didn't seem to bother him that we were awake so early! We were able to play with a car for a bit before he had to get medicine and go back for surgery. He seemed to really enjoy me pushing him around in the car and I am glad that I had that special time with him while mom rested in the room. We talked and enjoyed time together while he was getting surgery. When Harrison came back, he was pretty cranky and didn't seem to understand what was happening but that seemed to be understandable considering the circumstances. We took him home and helped him rest and he seemed to be better after the medicine from surgery wore off.
