surgery day!

well aiden did GREAT today! i was so proud of him. he was so confused as to why we were waking him up so early this morning...

We got to the outpatient center at 5:45am - we needed to be there at 6am - we got everything paid and signed some papers and then we got to go back - sign some more papers and then get aiden dressed in his little hospital gown.... isn't he cute!


Finally around 6:30am they gave him medicine to make him loopy.... it took a little - but it finally started to take affect...


he LOVED his hospital bracelet on his foot - he kept trying to grab it!

he was out of surgery around 7:30am - we talked to the doctor and he said everything was great - he had a LOT of junk that had to get suctioned out and he had some inflammation - so he said he would have some drainage for the next couple days. aiden was crying by the time we got back to see him - and we fed him and were out of the hospital by 8am and we had him home and asleep by 8:25am.... he slept for 4 hours! (while mommy went to a meeting for work)

he's been in very good spirits today - a little fussy... but nothing that we didn't expect. i'm exhausted - i've been up since about 4:30-5am... time to go to bed!

i am sick of doctors

i feel like we have lived at the doctors for the past 3 months! aiden has had ear infection after ear infection with pneumonia thrown in the middle! friday we had a follow up visit for his last ear infection and pneumonia - and he spiked a fever the night before (103.4) adam took him to his appt. first thing in the morning and then he was off to the ENT. aiden is having tubes put in on wednesday. i'm trying not to be nervous - but he's just so little. although - i know he's going to feel much better when it's all said and done.

and to top it all off - he woke up yesterday morning with pink eye! i have a feeling if the doctor's office would have given us an antibiotic on friday - we wouldn't have the pink eye today... so we are currently on an antibiotic for his ears (doctor said they were worse today than they were friday - well duh... you didn't give us an antibiotic!) and an antibiotic drops for his eyes!

you should see me give an 8 month old eye drops!

aiden was crawling and pulling up between me and the coffee table - and he fell - bumped his mouth and gave himself 2 punctures in the middle of the tongue - there was LOTS of blood - here is aiden sucking/chewing on a cold wet wash cloth to help soothe...
