An Update on Cooper

Cooper's surgery to put tubes in his ears was today. I was a nervous wreck, but everything went great! (Except him not being allowed to nurse after midnight.) I tried to get him to sleep


before he had to stop nursing, but it didnt happen. At about 1 AM, Jerry and I took him down the road in the car, and he feel asleep. We came back and I took him to bed. At about 3 AM, he woke up screaming for boob. It killed me to hold him and rock him while he screamed and pulled at my shirt, and I had to tell him no. It was awful. He stopped screaming just a couple minutes before we left at 5 AM. He wasn't asleep when we got to Hardees so I wouldn't let Jerry stop to get anything to eat. So I had about an hour and a half of sleep and an empty stomach.

This is in our room. The nurses brought him some toys.

This is after he had some medicine to make him loopy. It makes the separation easier. Atleast for him.

This is in the pre-op room. His medicine had really kicked in.

This is in recovery. They gave him a bottle :/

Mommy was so happy to see her little man!

He was so medicated, he didn't care about the bottle!

When the doctor called to let me know it was over, he said that everything went great. His ears were clear, which is the best time to do tubes. He didn't have to do his adnoids, which is what I was most worried about. He also told me he was waving at everyone as he feel asleep. That is just like Cooper :)

He slept the whole way home, and then we layed down together. He woke up at 6 PM, and then feel back asleep just a little while ago. He doesn't act like he is in any pain though! I just hope this works and stops his ear infections.
