Nolan's Procedure

Last Friday morning, Nolan had to have a 2nd set of tubes put in his ears and his adenoids removed. This is not a procedure we were looking forward to, but unfortunately had to be done. So we checked in at the hospital at 6:15 am and entertained Nolan with Scooby-Doo movies until the nurse came to get him. He was in a fairly good mood, but a little confused til they took him. Everything took about 45 minutes from the time they took him, til they brought him back from recovery. Let's just say he was NOT a happy boy when he came back!! There was a point where Jeff and I both broke down a little because he was hurting and we couldn't help him. He was able to relax some after his IV was taken out, but then started back up because his throat hurt. It was a really tough morning, but got better when the pain medicine finally kicked in. We were discharged around 11 am and Nolan was glad to get home and settled in for a long nap. He has been doing extremely well since then.



Pre-surgery waiting with Scooby-Doo movies.
We didn't get a post-surgery picture, it was too tough of a time!!

All the balloons his Aunts and Uncles and grandparents sent him. He loved them and they turned out to be quite the punching bags for the boys ! ;)
