Tubes In...
Owen had tubes in today. Everything went as scheduled. Dr. Pease was on time and there were actually 2 other children ahead of us, but we still were good. Owen did really really awesome. I thought for sure he would start screaming when they take him back to the OR, but he just looked at the lady (she had a warm blanket to wrap him up in) looked at us and that was it. Brent and I both looked at each other completely SHOCKED. This kid cries when I take him to the church nursery, but he doesn't cry at a surgical center??? So we headed for a cup of coffee in waiting room, and w/in 10 minutes (I am not really sure it was even that long) the asst showed us to the consult room where Dr. Pease was waiting, he chatted 90 seconds, we waited maybe another 5 and we saw O in the step down room. He drank his apple juice and had graham crackers, and applesauce. Nurse checked on us 3 times and discharged us w/in 30 minutes. "Go ahead and get him dressed", she says. Problem...Owen DOESN"T WANT TO LEAVE. He refused to take off the gown, get dressed or put on shoes. Screams and throws himself on the ground. Nurse comes back, pulls back the curtain and says" What is the matter, he was just fine". We finally coaxed him into leaving w/three extra pkgs of graham crackers. Brent needed some stuff at home depot, I needed a few things at Target. We came home and he hasn't missed a beat at all. He did so well. I know that God answered prayers today, from his calmness to the dr's quickness, to recovery. Thank you to all who prayed for us today. Thank you thank you....
