Collin's Surgery Day!

Today, on Halloween, our sweet little Collin had to have some tubes put in his ears and he also had his adenoids removed. He did great! The tubes were long overdue! Ben had them as well and I had been expecting them for a while. The ENT said that when she removed his adenoids, she found that they were enlarged...so she thinks that he will be feeling MUCH better now that they are gone. They were kind of blocking his sinus passage and making it harder to drain. SO hopefully we will be in better shape...especially for all of the cold weather!

We left the house this morning at 5:30 am. for a 6:30 am. check-in. We were home and Collin was in his own bed by 9:15ish...so not bad at all! I tried to snap a few shots.


Here is Collin oblivious to what is about to take place...just thinking he got to get up early and go somewhere special with mommy and puppy of course! We had just arrived at the surgery center.


Putting on the hospital gown threw him for a loop...he knew something was not right! Bless his little heart!


The room with toys and the big rocking chair was not too bad....he was just chilling.
About 15 minutes after his special "cocktail" syringe from the Anesthesiologist:):) Life is good...

  2. I love the hospital gown pic. Someday ya'll will have a blast laughing at it. Capturing the great and "not so great" moments is real documentation of life! I've got a post like this coming soon . . .

  4. I hope that Collin starts feeling better soon (if he's not already!) Tubes have been such a blessing to our family - Drew hasn't had a single ear infection since!
