Well, I can honestly say that our little Landen is a completely different little boy. He had tubes put in his ears yesterday, and as the day went on today he was just so incredibly happy, happier than he's ever been I think! He took many long naps over the course of these two days but that was from the anesthetics I think. He slept trough the night peacefully last night and I'm hoping it goes just the same tonight.
At the hospital before his surgery I had already made up my mind that I was absolutely not going to go into the room while they put him under, it was just going to be Trav with him, well at the last minute I had a change of heart. I carried him in, layed him on this miniture operating table adn he started screaming, as soon as i heard that I started tearing up. They took his NUK out and put the mask over his mouth, you could just barely hear him crying and he was trying to get away from them so of course I started to actually cry. As minor as it was I was heartbroken. I didn't want to leave him in there without us but it had to be done. 10 minutes later a nurse came walking in our room with a very unhappy Landen. He just reached out to us and I squeezed him tight, and then I started to cry again (I know, buck up.... right?)
All in all, I am so glad we did it b/c even Trav has comented on several different occasions that he is so much happier, and we are soaking it all up!
We love you Landen Shawn! xxxooo

I am SUPER glad that it went well! It's amazing that tubes can make him a happier kid! He must just feel so much better!
And, you don't need to "buck up" You're his momma, and you have EVERY right to feel the way you did! I'm getting a post ready with a photo of Avery after her surgery when she was 5 days old. It brings back memories...
So glad he's doing better Kim...
