R-man's Ear Tube Surgery

I am so happy to know that R-man's ear tube surgery is over and that it went well. I am thrilled to know that he will finally be comfortable and pain free with hopefully no more jell-o like fluid in his ears.

Today, our day began pretty early. We were instructed to arrive at the Lakeview Surgery Center in West Des Moines at 6:15 a.m. R-man must have realized that something was happening today because he woke up at 4 a.m. crying and hungry but we were instructed that he not have anything to eat or drink after mid-night. This didn't make for a very happy baby so I tried to distract him by playing with toys. We turned on the living room light and got out his box of toys and played until 5 a.m. Dave and I needed to get ready so we put his Johnny Jumper in the bathroom door for him to jump away while we got ready.
