Recovery Day 1

So today was an interesting day. John Michael needed to take it easy so that he did not start bleeding so we all took it easy. It as definitely a zero productive day for house work. I am glad to report that there was no bleeding today though so we made it through day 1 of recovery.
He was pretty fidgety to start the day off. I am guessing it was coming off the medicine that did it to him. I am not sure how long all that stays with you so that is my guess.
He does not like the ear drops at all. I have to do them three times a day and the last time it took me and Brandon to hold him down and get them inserted.
Brandon and Danny changed my brakes today which was great. Now I will feel better making my around town visits. Especially with all of the sessions I have coming up I have to be able to drive. There was a leaf in the brakes, which I took a picture of for you all to see. STRANGE! I will be getting the oil changed this week. Maybe Tuesday, I think that is ladies day at Express. We shall see.
Well, I am off to bed. Praying for a good day for my little man tomorrow.

Surgery

This morning was John Michael's surgery. We got up and got ready. I got Danny up and ready for picture day at school. He was in his Mass uniform and super handsome. My mom came over this morning so that she could take Danny man to school. She was also going to take him to breakfast, so I know he was loving this morning. He was also glad that he got to see John Michael before his surgery. He was worried that he wouldn't. Such sweet boys that we have.
Brandon, John Michael and myself were at Children's at 7:05. We had to be there by 7:15. John Michael and I walked the halls for a while and did several puzzles in the play room while we were waiting on his surgery. The nurse came and got him about five minutes before 9. He was such a bog boy walking to the back. We got to walk him to the monkey doors, and then we watched him until he turned the corner. My heart was broken, even though I knew that he would be fine, it is just so hard to watch them go somewhere and lose all control. I tried to stay strong and got some coffee and prayed.
His tubes were done in no time. The nurse said that they put the mask on him and he yawned and then he started to laugh. She said that they were all laughing because he had some serious sleeping giggles. Dr. Hill came and let us know when the adenoids were out. He said that they were definitely large. He also said that his eardrums are "floppy" so he is worried about the tubes holding. If they come out there is another type of tube, but he wants to try these first. He gave us the drops and said that John Michael did great and was in recovery.
When the nurses finally brought him back he was a little upset. He had his IV in and did not like it at all. He wanted it out. Once he drank a little they took it out. He was scared that would hurt, but he was big. Plus he had the Demerol stares so he was not paying much attention. He got a Popsicle for the ride home. He was glad to head home.
He got a little sick while we were carrying him to the van. Once we got to the van he fell asleep and pretty much slept the rest of the day. We gave him his medicine every three hours and his ear drops (which he does not like at all) 2 more times. He really wanted Krystal's for dinner so Brandon went and got him some and he ate 4 so I guess he was hungry.
He seems to be in better spirits tonight, and is wide awake from sleeping all day. The doctor said that we can send him back to school as early as Monday as long as he is up to it. He said for some they are only out a few days for others a week.
Well, I am off. I am working on homework and editing while he watches TV. I am so proud of how big he was today. As soon as he goes to sleep I am headed there myself! Hopefully it will be sooner than later.
