Caiden finally hit his limit for ear infections. He was getting them back to back in both ears. The good people at the pharmacy see way too much of me.
The morning of the surgery arrived and I was so afraid Caiden would be fussy since he couldn't eat. But he was a good boy, empty stomach, infected ears and all. I had no idea they made hospital gowns that small! I was nervous about the procedure even though it's a very simple one. Just the thought of my baby lying on a table , under anesthesia, was a little hard to take. But I handed him off to the Doctor and headed for the waiting room with my husband. Less than 10 minutes after I sat down, the Doctor came walking out. I thought no way is he done! But he was. It was that quick. I quickly walked back to recovery and there was my son, crying in the arms of a nurse. It's amazing how pitiful and helpless they can look. I couldn't wait to take him into my arms. A few minutes later I looked and my husband and said, Oh, did you want to hold him? He said oh no, I wouldn't dare take him from you. He was right. I wouldn't have given him up.
He calmed down a little bit after I fed him. But he cried pretty much the whole way home. I thought, oh, what a day this was going to be. Although I was prepared to hold him the whole day if I needed to. He's such a sweetheart I couldn't bear to think of him hurting. He took a two hour nap when we got home and was a new baby. He's been great ever since....
