Caden's Big Day

We went to the ENT yesterday and after looking at
Caden's ears, they scheduled him for tubes this morning. We got to the hospital at 7:45am and Caden was in toy heaven. We played in the waiting room for a while and then went back to do the health exam. Caden was not happy about the hospital bracelet. They ended up having to put a sticker on his back with all of his info on it because he wouldn't calm down. After the health exam, we went to a second waiting room. The second waiting room had even better toys and less kids, so Caden had even more fun in there. Pretty soon it was time to go back to the OR. Caden cried and I almost did, too. About a half hour later, we got to go see our little guy. He looked so sad hooked up to all the different machines. He did really well and started drinking apple juice right away. We got to go home a little while after that. Since we've been home, he's been playing and eating and acting like himself. You would never know that he had surgery today. We go back to the ENT in about a month and they will retest his hearing. We're crossing our fingers that the tubes take care of the hearing loss.

My First Post!

After much pressure from my family and friends, I have decided to start blogging. Okay, so no one really pressured me into it, but it sounded good, right? I'm still trying to figure out how to do all of this, so bear with me while I work on it.
