Tubes Day

This was the day that Colin's ears received their tubes again.  He has been fighting ear infections for several weeks and Dr. Dejti said it was time for them.  After getting the other 2 kids to their respective schools, we headed for the hospital.

When we got to the room, there was a cool red and black blanket for him to take home after the procedure. 

After the trouble figuring out how the gown goes on; you could tell his nervousness was setting in.  While he waited to be taken into surgery he played the ipod to take his mind off the situation.  When the anesteologist came in she told them that they would be using some funky monkey juice on him and he may come back to the parents with hair on his chest and face.(which he smiled at)

Well no new HAIR.  He came back after about 1/2 hour a little drowsy and grumpy but get some broccoli in him and he is a new man.  He did tell us later he would hope that they would cancel the procedure and that he would rather went to school.  We got outta there about noon and Colin, Caden, and I rested the part of the afternoon.  Colin did get a compliment from one of the surgery staff saying she wished they have more kids like him following instructions and not whining.  We are proud of you Colin.
