Turbo Tubes In Place

 Alright Mister has his tubes in both ears now! It was fast and he did wonderfully! We had to be at the surgery center at 6am which meant we had to wake up at 5am to gether everything ready. I had to pack the diaper bag for Ladybug as well so she wasn't insanely bored while waiting and she had breakfast to eat out of sight of her brother. We checked in and waited and then finally got called to his pre-op room, which funny enough was the same pre-op room I had a few weeks back!! It felt like we waited in there for a while before they came for Mister. When they did it was easy enough, I mean it sucked having to let him go but I knew it wasn't going to take long and it wouldn't actually hurt him so I was fine. The Marine on the other had taken this way worse than I did, he was so worried about Mister. Ladybug was worried too she kept asking where did her brother go and we need to find him.
 We waited no more than 20 minutes before our amazing doctor came to tell us that everything went great and that his turbo tubes were in place. He didn't have any fluid draining out so there was no fluid just the pressure of his drums being sucked into his ears I guess. He gave us a script for ear drops because he remember ed we were going on vacation and if something were to happen we would have the drops, he said he would give them in the office if there was a problem but he didn't expect any. He really is an awesome doctor I would tell everybody to see him, and I wonder if he would travel with us if we have to PCS out of this area...hmmmm
 So then they called for mommy only and I got to go back to meet him in post op. He wasn't there yet but I got to greet him with a huge hug once the nurses walked him out. They said he was the sweetest most loving little boy they had come in for a while. He won over everybody's hearts with his smiles and how he loves to hug! They said he never fussed once and just watched everybody do their thing. They asked if they could keep him there because he was so sweet! That's my boy, he is such a lover!
 We got to go home very shortly after, it took longer for the nurse to get two Popsicles for the kids than it did waiting to go home! On the way home we stopped by krispy kream for a coffee and we promised ladybug a donut which she was extremely pleased to get. She did such a good job during the whole thing, she really impressed me!! I am proud to have such great kids like that!
 After they ate he started to get fussy so right before 10am he went down for a nap and it wasn't until after 2pm till he woke up again!!! I was actually saying maybe we should check on him as he was waking up because I got worried!!
 So did it help or not? well I am still not sure. I notice some changes in him but nothing major. His balance seems to be better and he doesn't hold his arms out as he walks so much anymore. He seems to have gained some degree of confidence too which I wasn't expecting but he has started defending himself when Ladybug picks on him and today at playgroup he sure did hang with the big kids more and wanted to interact rather than on his own being quiet. I don't know if he can hear any better as I was expecting him to stop the pterodactyl scream but he did that once then looked and went on to do it more only laughing because that ear piercing scream must be funny to him. His mood is improved so far. I know it has only been a day so far but he has been happy go lucky since so maybe he won't be so miserable now that the pressure in his ears is gone!
 So all went well with him he still needs speech therapy to help him catch up to what he should be but now we might actually have progress instead of a stand still!
