Early this morning around 4:45 a.m. Daddy, Mommy & Hudson left for Mankato for his surgery. He slept the entire ride there and was ready to go, as you can see, for pre-ops at 6 a.m.!
Since he was the youngest he was up first and he loved crawling around & playing in the crib. Wasn't too sure of his "gown" as a little big but we think did like the freedom of it!
Too cute with his little diaper hanging out!
Didn't have to wait too long but it was fun going on wagon rides while we waited. Hudson loved looking around and seeing or flirting with all the nurses! Around 7:10 a.m. they took him back for the procedure and he didn't cry at all. The procedure seemed so quick and Dr. Pearson came back to give an update which she felt it went really well and was glad we did it as he did have a lot of fluid built up. She felt he should have hearing gain right away and be prepared in case a little startled by noises at first. Everything may be magnified for a little bit.
After
recovery was a little out of it due to the anesthesia and a little grumpy but
didn't last too long. Did love cuddling with Mommy & watching a little TV.
Soon after a bottle he seemed to perk up a bit and was a little happier. He
slept the entire ride home and dozed on & off for the afternoon.
By mid-afternoon he was ready to go again & play! Here's our happy little man! What surgery?! He'll get drops now for the next 5 days, needs to watch what he eats for 24-48 hours and we have to be careful with baths for a week but overall very successful so far. Hopefully helps him in the long run and no more ear infections! Yeah Hudson! Hudson has post-ops check-up on the 20th and Hayden even goes for his 6 month tube check the same day. Hopefully will learn all looks good.
Hayden did great overnight at Grandma Judy's and had a great breakfast with her this morning. He played at daycare in the corn sensory table and even played kitchen with the toy food. Was very excited to see Hudson & Mommy at pick-up and had a great night at home. So blessed to have two healthy, happy little boys!
