Aidan's Surgery

Aidan had repeat ear tube surgery this morning as well as they took his adenoids out. He did really well and really for the first time didn't wake up screaming and crying from anesthesia which was a nice change. We thought he might put up a big fuss about going back unsedated because he hates doctors right now and was clinging to Daddy for dear life when we arrived but the wonderful nurses there convinced him to come back and get bubble gum through the mask and he literally walked hand in hand with the nurse talking the whole way back to the operating room which also is a nice change from them peeling him off of us screaming. The Dr. said that both ears were infected again and his adenoids were so large that it was a good chance that his sleep disturbances might have been from the large adenoids obstructing his airway. So that made us feel better that we went ahead and did the surgery. One can hope that this is the answer for poor Aidan and that he sleeps and eats better after this. Unlike his first ear tube surgery where within an hour of surgery he was bouncing around like a mad man he has been pretty tired and just laying low. He is milking the ice cream and Popsicles for all it is worth though. Hopefully, he will be back to his normal silly self tomorrow and hopefully this will keep us out of the doctors office for a while.
