We arrived at the Children's Outpatient Surgery Center at 6:30am this morning and I took Ryland into the operating room at 7:56:am. We are so proud of him because he did awesome! Tab and I were both worried about how he was going to react to us waking him up early and then not being able to feed him but he did not cry any on the car ride there or while we were in the pre-op room. He shed his first tear of the day when I laid him down on the operating table (talk about breaking your heart) and he definitely did not like the mask that they put on him to put him to sleep. I was able to hold his hand until he was sound asleep which happened in less than a minute. Tab and I were then moved over to the post-op/recovery room and within 10 minutes they were wheeling Ryland into the room with us. He was still sleeping and we let him sleep for 10 more minutes before waking him up. We were back at home by 9am and Ryland has been playing ever since. I am so glad that the surgery went well and definitely glad that it is over.
Lets hope that the tubes work their little miracle and no more ear infections for our little boy!

At home 2 hours after surgery ... wide awake and ready to play
In his crib 4 hours after his surgery ... still wide awake and not ready for a nap
