Skyler got his tubes



This morning Skyler went in for his surgery to get the tubes put in his ears. We took him to the ear specialist on Thursday and they did say that he has fluid behind both of his ears, which is causing pressure on his ear drums so he can't hear. They also did a test to see if it was permanent damage on his hearing and there is not. They scheduled his surgery for 7:30 am on Monday but we had to be there at 6am. I was kind of worried about how early we had to wake him and then how long we had to wait until the surgery was because we could not feed him anything after midnight. When we got there Skyler was really excited for some strange reason, It was like he knew what was going on. But, he did so good threw out the whole thing. Before they started getting his vitals, weight ect, they gave him this stuff called "happy juice." It makes it to where Skyler didn't care that he was getting poked at. He was really funny on it because he would just sit and smile holding a box of crayons the nurses gave him, almost like he was very high! The surgery only lasted about 15 mins, they said the hardest part of babies come of of surgery is the anastasia. But the nurses said that Skyler was one of the best babies they have seen coming out of it. He hardly cried!
Shh.. I'm hidding

Getting ready for my tubes!

Skyler on his happy juice!

On our way home we stopped and got Skyler some pan-a-cakes, He loves them and was hungry!! It's kind of cute because I think that he likes this new hearing thing because he walked around the house after we got home, making all the noises/grunts he normally makes so he could hear them. Lil Munch, we are so proud of you and can't wait for you to start talking up a storm!! xo
