Luke's ear surgery

After many ear infections and a definite pattern developing the doctor said Luke needed tubes.  We knew it was coming- every time he gets a cold it hangs on and turns into a sinus infection and eventually an ear infection.  We wanted to get the tubes in before the baby was born so they scheduled it for about a couple of weeks before my due date.

surgery scheduled for 12noon but he didn't even go back until around 1pm.  He fell asleep in our arms before they even came to give him the "sleepy juice".  We had to wake him up to get him to take the special "cocktail" as the nurses called it.

That was a really emotional few minutes.  Here I was, 37-38 weeks pregnant and they take by baby boy for surgery.  Yes I know it was only out-patient but this emotional Momma had a hard time.  Luckily the doc came out about 7 or 8 minutes later and said it was a success and they would come get me to take me to Luke in recovery.  I couldn't wait to hold him again!

Update- no ear infections!
