Josh's 2nd Tube Surgery











We are home and doing well after Josh's second tube surgery (his first was Nov. 08). The surgery was quick and went really well. I am so thankful for the blessings we have in our life, Mike was home for this one, so while I took Josh and Addison to Boys Town, he took Noah to Sara's for the morning. We are truly so blessed to have such awesome friends who don't hesitate to lend us help when we need it as Mike had meetings today that he could not miss. Noah did great Sara said and had fun playing with Ethan, it's always a relieft when they are good at friends' houses. Things couldn't have gone smoother other than a slight delay for us at the hospital. Josh got the "funny medicine" at about 845, before that he had been playing happily and loved looking at the cars passing by through a little circle window close to the floor. A little bit after getting the funny medicine he was just a little cranky and really determined to leave. That was only a short time though and finally he just settled onto my lap and eventually fell asleep. His surgery was scheduled for 9:30, I think they came about 10 to get him and before 10:15 they had come back to tell me surgery was done and had gone well and he was doing well in recovery. Addison slept the whole morning until after Josh was in surgery and recovery, she woke up and ate and was content to sit in her carseat right after Josh was back in the room. The doctor said they sucked up a lot of gross stuff from his left ear (I am pretty sure it was infected from the sounds of it) and so he may need to use the ear drops for 6 days instead of the normal 3 but otherwise things looked great. We were heading out to the van by 1130 or so and he napped on the way home. We got Noah and by the time we got home Josh was rested enough and wanted to play with his "brodder"
