Surgery Stinks!!

Little man had his adenoids removed and tubes put in last Friday. What an eventful day!! We had to be there at 7:30 and he couldn't eat or drink anything after midnight. I knew it was going to be a rough morning because milk and breakfast comes immediately after waking up for him!! We managed to keep him pretty content before we had to leave. Once there, we had to wait until about 9:30 for them to take him back. My parents had kept Maddie the night before and took her to Ney Ney's for the day. They and Nonna came up to the surgery center to spend the day with us. Everyone was able to love on Turner before he went back and he picked out a toy right before they took him from us.

I think he was gone for about 45 minutes and they came and got us. He was pitiful! It was such a different experience with him than it was with Maddie. Maddie woke up crying and was unhappy for about an hour and a half. She then took a several hours nap and woke up fine. Turner was a crying a little when we first got in there, but he just didn't want to wake up. Our 30 minute recovery stay lasted 4 hours!!! He would open his eyes for a little bit and cough quite a bit, then go back out. They ended up giving him a breathing treatment, which required us to stay longer so they could monitor him. We didn't end up getting home till after 2. I am hoping that in the long run, having the adenoids removed will keep him from staying so sick.
