surgery

My poor little boy had to get his second round of ear tubes and adenoids taken out last Thursday, February 17th. The hardest part of the whole event was that Matt couldn't be there. He's still in Delta training and was scheduled to be in Atlanta during this past weekend. We were going to wait until this week to do Roman's surgery but were strongly encouraged to go ahead and get it done because apparently our little boy is in continual pain from "glue ear" and has some temporary hearing loss. Argh! It just makes me so sad that he was in so much pain.

After surgery they told me that Roman's left ear was really bad and would have burst if we would have left it one more week. His little adenoid was super swollen and definitely needed to come out too!

Surgery was at 7:30 am so we had to be there at 6:30. It was best to get it over with early in the morning since he couldn't' eat or drink anything beforehand.

Pre-surgery

It was so sad to see my little guy in a surgery hospital gown.

After we got home, Roman kept throwing up from the anesthesia and was really out of it. They even gave him morphine in the IV! Luckily my friend, Jessica, from church happen to come over and saved me! She brought me lunch and even ran to get a prescription for Roman's nausea. I was so grateful! Even if I did eat my lunch standing with him crying in my arms. It was crazy!

We spent most of Thursday afternoon watching sesame street and cuddling.

Roman started doing much better on Friday. He still wakes up in pain from laying on his ears I think, but he's doing great considering. I have really felt the prayers surrounding us this past weekend while it's just been Roman and I. We really appreciate the support of our friends and family!
