Myringotomies

Myringotomies, yes that is the technical term for ear tubes.  When we got the information sheet on the procedure Dustin kept saying my-ring-o-tone-ies (my ring tones) jokingly. 

As you may have guessed, Kamden got tubes today.  We hit the ground running bright and early.

4:00 am - Got up, took a shower, rounded every body's things up.

4:50 am - Got the boys up and put in the van.

5:00 am - Dropped Karson off at daycare.

6:00 am - Arrived at hospital.

7:10 am - Kamden was in surgery. 

7:20 am - Kamden was out of surgery and in recovery. Went and got a glass of hot chocolate and was being paged to go talk to the Doctor, I hadn't even sat down in the waiting room yet.



7:35 am - Kamden was out of recovery and back in the room.  He cried a little, but not much.

8:00 am - Kamden was running laps in the halls.  In the room, around the curtain, down the hall, and back again.

8:30 am - Start the check-out process.

8:40 am - In the van and on the road.

8:50 am - Kamden was doing so well we decided to stop at Lowe's for a couple of things.

9:30 am - Breakfast at McDonald's because we were starving.

10:30 am - Pick Karson up from daycare.

10:35 am - Back home. Business as usual.  Dustin goes to work and I get the kids settled in.

Dustin was amazed at how much you can get done before 10:00 am when you get up at 4:00.

Kamden did really well.  He was back to his normal self within a half an hour, which is awesome.  I'm so glad we decided to get tubes.  He's always been a happy kid and you could never tell when he had an ear infection, but I can already tell he fells better.
