What is this thing on my wrist, it is driving me crazy?
Having fun in the waiting room

Nate found a baby doll bed and decided to check it out!
Just a little to small
Sitting up works the best
Having fun cruising around on a car, this place is fun!
What in the world is going on!

Nate relaxing on a bed before surgery, he tripped on a book and fell and hit his head on the hard floor so we rocked and calmed down and he just wanted to lay on the bed and watch things.
The drugs are kicking in. He got a sedative before surgery and oh my gosh! This kid was gone. He was so funny, just laughing at everything and saying "wow" at the lights.
Waiting for surgery, he has no idea what is going on!
After surgery when he finally got what he wanted
After surgery, he was still so tired and out of it. Don't take the bottle away!

Nathan's surgery went very well. Both of his tubes were out and he had fluid behind both of his ears, so I am sure he has been miserable. His adenoids were abnormally large so it was a good thing to have them taken out. He did well, but he woke up from the anesthesia not so happy. He was screaming and throwing his body until we were able to give him a bottle of apple juice. He then calmed right down. He was so out of it and would fall asleep with the bottle in his mouth. I took it out once and learned my lesson. He screamed until I was able to calm him down enough that he took it again. We had to wait a few hours until he drank enough juice and kept it down and his stats were good. He was ready to go when we were finally able to leave. On the way home he ate some orange jello and a cookie and had a drink of sprite. When we got home he wanted his bed, he kept saying nigh, night. He loves his bed. He slept for a long time and he really needed it. He was pretty grumpy when he woke up it had been way past time for more tylenol. He was a lot happier after we gave him Tylenol and it kicked in. He slept great last night. Did not wake up once and woke up very happy. He has been playing all day. Yeah!! I hope this lasts and he doesn't get anymore ear infections.
