Jamison's Big Day

Friday was Jamisons big day of surgery. We had to be at the hospital at 6:15am. That really isn't that bad, except we usually get up around 5:30 and Jamison must have his morning cup of Milk! And of course he could not have anything to eat or drink. Brooklyn spent the night with Grandma Mary and Papa Vince so that she wouldn't have to be involved in the early morning chaos!

We made it to the hospital, got all checked in, and sported a cute gown which Jamison was not a fan of. The nurses came in and did all they needed to do and we met with the Dr. to go over the procedure again. About that time Jamison remembered that he was hungry, and he was getting tired, so we got the cranky J-man for a few minutes. But when the nurses came to get him, he went off like a champ, with binky and blanket in hand, but no tears. That made it much easier on Mommy (and Daddy!). So luckily there were no tears on their part either :).

About a half hour later the Dr. came out and said everything went great. Tubes in both ears, and adenoids (which ended up being infected) out. And about ten minutes later we called back to see the little man. And unfortunately not a very happy little man. He was having some sugar water which he was gulping down fastly, and wanted more!! badly!! So between being hungry, tired, probalby nauseated, maybe a headache and some pain, our little guy who is normally happy was NOT HAVING IT AT ALL! We went through about 15-20 minutes of a little boy who would not calm down. Both Chris and I tried everything, but finally the nurse had to give him something to calm him down and to help him with the pain. Finally he calmed down, and we were shortly off to a room to be monitored until it was time to go home.

Jamison finally took a couple of cat-naps even though we could tell he wasn't real comfortable.
Here are a few pics of him just before we went home....he looks like a pretty tough guy if you ask me!!




We made it home at 9:47 Am, yes an exact time, the exact time I bet Chris we would be home!! It was then time for some cuddle/nap time with Mommy. And two three-hour naps later he was a brand new man and feeling good! He ate dinner good Friday night, and was his normal silly self on Saturday.

Sunday he was his normal silly self times two!! He was babbling away more than ever!! Here are Brooklyn and Jamison enjoying breakfast Sunday morning in the living room on the picnic table!

I don't have a picture, but shortly after this Jamison was climbing on top of the table, so we assumed he was feeling A-OK!

Overall we had a great outcome!! No fever, no problems, and we have a little boy who seems happier already! What a relief!! So glad our little guy is so tough and that we had so many prayers coming his way!!
