Ear Tube Success

Jack had his ear tube surgery on Monday morning and it went very well.  Justin woke up at 5 and got Jack up at 5:30 in order to be at the hospital by 6AM.  Justin said Jack did great,  he was only upset for a short period when he was waking up from the anesthesia.  He was in a good mood when he got home and was running around and feeling great the rest of the day.  He didn't even take a nap, which surprised me since he woke up so early.  I stayed home with little lady and anxiously waited to hear how things went. Jack is  feeling much better since the procedure and has even been more interactive. This is probably due to the fact that he can now hear better, and the pressure from the fluid in his ears is now gone. 

This is day three of his vacation from school and its been nice not having to wake him up these past two days. We had a play date here yesterday with a few of Jack's friends.  He doesn't get to participate in our weekly playgroups as much anymore since he is now in school five days a week.  So when Jack has time off from school I will schedule a play date so that he get as many chances to socialize as he can.

My parents and sister are driving down this morning to spend Thanksgiving with us.  Jack missed his speech appointment this week, but he still gets to go see Ms Shannon, his OT, this afternoon.  I'm so excited that Thanksgiving is finally here.  The turkey has been unthawing in the fridge since the weekend and Justin got a turkey breast he is going to smoke as well.  I'm looking forward to having a nice relaxing day and watching the Macy's Thanksgiving day Parade tomorrow morning with the kids.


Happy Thanksgiving!
