Surgery....

Our sweet little boy had to go in on Tuesday and have tubes put in his ears and his adenoids removed. I think that surgery is harder on parents than it is on kids. We headed to Primary Children's at about 10:00 we had to be checked in by 10:30. Braxy had a great time playing with all of the toys in the waiting room. We then went and did all the pre surgery stats and got brax dressed in his surgery attire. I was so impressed with the staff at primarys the nurses were so great and made us and Brax feel so at ease. They did everything to Pluto that they did to Brax which made him happy. After we got B dressed we went into another toy room where Brax played some more. While we were in there they came and gave Braxy his Verset to calm him a little before the Anesthesiologist came to get him. The nurse told us it would take about 5 minutes for the verset to work and then we would need to corral him and watch him close. It was about 5 minutes and braxys eyes glassed over and his head started bobbing and mom started crying. It was so hard to see him like that. The anesthesiologist came in and gave us the run down of what was going to happen next and he said lets just carry brax and then you guys can hand him to me so we walked down the hall and handed him over and turned and as we walked away i could hear Brax in his drunken state crying "Mommy, Mommy" and again I lost it.... Surgery took only about 30 minutes, the Dr came in and told us everything went great a nurse came and got me and I went into the recovery room with Brax as he was waking up. When I walked in he was crying "mommy and owie" We stayed in there for a little while until he drank some juice then he was clear to go to the next recovery room where dad could come and join us. We headed in there and Brooks came in and Braxy slept in his arms for about an hour and a half. He finally woke up enough to get dressed and go home. It was a long day but Brax was so brave and so good. We are just glad to have it all over with.
