2 days before Christmas Damon had some surgeries. He had tubes in for the 3rd or 4th time ( I have lost count) and they also carved out the sinus' in his cheeks to open them up. I was told it would be a pretty easy recovery so James and I after dealing with 4 months of constant ear infections decided to do it before his deductable started over in January. Well, Christmas was fun, but the poor boy was not himself!
I have a really hard time not being able to be there when I know they are going through something like a surgery. This isn't his first time but I was still emotional and scared. Thankfully my awesome mother in law came with me. I was 34 weeks pregnant and on bed rest and not supposed to lift anything (yeah right). She was a fantastic helper and if it wasn't for her I think i would have gone crazy during the 2 hours of waiting. She took me to lunch and we talked a lot.
I teared up when they brought me back to see him. He was so out of it and his little nose was crusted in blood. Then he started to really wake up from the anethesia and he just cried and it made my heart ache.
It took a day or two before he actually snapped out of the anesthesia. And when he did he was pretty funny. PLaying with his new dinosaur and watching movies.

Oh, poor guy. At least he wont be having ear infections all the time. I hate when my kids have ear infections. Mckenzie almost had to get tubes when she was a baby but she ended up growing out of it and doing really well. I hope the tubes work out well.
