Well we are home from the hospital already. It's been a long day and it's only 11am. The alarm went off at 4:30 this morning. With Harrison being so young, he was the first patient in for surgery today since he had to fast. Here he is in pre-op. For waking up so early the boys had fun playing with puzzles and being toted around in a wagon throughout the hallways of the surgical wing. Harrison's surgery went very well. He had a Bilateral Tympanostomy with Insertion of Ventilation Tubes. His surgery is a little different than just tubes as he also has concave eardrums. So after each ear infection he had (20!!!!- an no I am not exaggerating), the fluid could never drain. If he didn't have the surgery he would always have an ear infection. That is why every time he had his ears checked, he had an ear infection. So really he has had one ear infection that never went away his entire life. When they drained his ears during the surgery, it was like glue. Usually the fluid is a watery substance but his was glue. After surgery he wasn't too happy in recovery. He was screaming and crying and rolling around everywhere. He actually wiggled out of his cute little gown. He is doing much better at home now and they said he would be back to normal by tomorrow. Now with his ears clear he probably wonders why everyone talks so loud :) He obviously failed his hearing test during his pre-op appointment. I am excited to see how his little personality changes now that he is going to feel so much better. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Little Harrison is going to be so happy and healthy now!!!!
