Surgery Day!

So today was the day for both boys to have surgery! Bryce had his tonsils and adenoids removed and tubes placed in both ears, and Jace had adenoids removed and tubes put in both ears. I am really hoping that this solves most of our problems with ear infections and sinus problems. We arrived at 6:00 am and signed in both boys. They had a little time to play but as you well know Jace is not a morning person and was not in the mood. Bryce was a different story. He was all wide eyed and bushy tailed and he was ready to get in the floor of the waiting room and play with his tractors. KK, MiMi, Paw, Angela, Shaun and I all waited for the moment they would call us to the back. Well it came quicker than was expected. We took both boys to the back where we put them in gowns, got their armbands, weighed them and checked temps. Bryce was really wary of all of this that was happening so fast, Jace couldn't care less. Then came the fun part. Both boys were given some medication to make them a little drowsy and they were all over the place. Bryce kept telling us he wasn't sleepy even though he couldn't keep his little eyes open and he was wobbling all over the place. LOL. Jace wasn't trying to hide how sleepy he was, he laid down in my lap and was just staring off in space. When it was time, they came for Jace and took him back. It took them only about 20 minutes to complete Jace's surgery and then it was Bryce's turn. Well, he wasn't to sure about going back with the nurse and he didn't want to keep his gown on either so he was running around the room gown less in only his diaper talking about how he didn't want to go. When we finally got him to go with her it only took about 45 minutes for them to complete his surgery. Both boys ended up in the same room both with tears running down their faces and my heart breaking. Bryce only wanted me or daddy to hold him and he was still so drowsy from the medication. Jace cried and cried until the medicine wore off and then we had to send him home he was running around the room and screaming and playing so loud the neighbors asked if he was gonna be spending the night. LOL!! We sent Jace home with my mom and we stayed overnight with Bryce. By eight o'clock he wanted to go outside to see the cat the night shift nurse had told him about so we packed up the IV pump and outside we went for a walk. He finally fell asleep about 11 that night and woke up only once for pain medicine. He ate most of his breakfast the next morning and we were on our way home by lunch. It hasn't been easy to keep them both inside and still for long but we have managed. Things look good so far and we go back to the ENT in two weeks for a checkup. I am so proud and happy that they did so well. I need to send a special thanks to our family for being there and helping out and all the gifts that were brought for the boys.
