Surgery

Bryce was such a big boy today! We got to the hospital at 7:45 and were home by 11:45! It was awesome!! He got upset when I told him he had to take his pants off (he wore his super hero pajama pants) so I asked if he could wear those in surgery and they let him! I think that helped his feelings alot. And PJ and Monk were allowed to go with him, thank goodness. They gave him some Spiderman juice (happy juice) while we were waiting and it made him so loopy! These pictures are after the happy juice. The surgery itself was so quick. Dr. Lurton said his ears were "nasty". They had so much fluid and were both infected. He decided to give him a Rocephin shot in the OR and we have drops to put in them for a couple of days. When we were allowed to go back to recovery Bryce was very agitated and crying which made him cough a lot. A nurse was doing a breathing treatment which only upset him more (but I know helped the cough). He wouldn't calm down until Anthony picked him up and started rocking him. He finally calmed down and looked at me and said in a loopy voice "why am I here?" Poor thing couldn't remember being there because of the happy juice so no wonder he was so upset! Once I explained where we were and why we were there he relaxed and went to sleep. He had a quick 20 minute nap and when he woke up he was ready to hit the road! He couldn't walk (too wobbly) until we got home. Now he is running around acting totally normal! He ate a full Chik fil A happy meal so I know he is feeling good! On the way home he said " Mama, why didn't they put the Hulk tubes (we have been calling them Hulk tubes) in my ears?" I said they did and he said "But I don't feel anything and I never saw the Dr." I guess the medicine did the trick!
