Time for Tubes!!

After almost constant ear infections over the past year with Alec, he finally got tubes put in this morning by Dr. Hammett.  We're hoping this puts and end to all of the sleepless nights and constant ear aches!

Playtime with Riley the night before Alec's tubes!

Believe it or not, this was bedtime snack,

even though he doesn't even almost look sleepy!

Alec couldn't eat or drink the morning of the surgery so, he had a HUGE bowl of strawberries for bedtime snack!  Yummy!!  Riley even came over to share some strawberries and wish him good luck!

We had to be at the facility at 7:00 so it was an early start!  He wasn't scared of the doctor's office at all and was having fun playing in his cute little hospital gown!

Before his medicine kicked in, he was still having fun entertaining everyone!

Still happy, coloring with dad!

The nurse gave Alec some medicine to drink before the surgery.  It made him extremely wobbly!  He didn't want our help coloring, but he literaly could not sit up by himself.  He kept telling Dustin and I to "move"!  Once they came and took him from us, the procedure only lasted about 5 minutes and he was only away from us for about 15 minutes.  When the nurse brought him back to us, it was so sad, he was screaming and kicking his legs and jerking around.  It took almost an hour for him to settle down.  We felt so sorry for him and there was absolutely nothing we could do to calm him down.

Getting Happier!

Once we got home, he got pretty happy and was back to his old self by no time at all!!  And he even got pudding with his lunch for a special treat since he had a bad morning!

Yummy!
