The night before the surgery I didn't sleep a wink. I wasn't so much worried about the surgery, as I was about getting there on time. I am so thankful that Jon's dad and step mom took Judd. And, I am thankful that Jon opted to come with me, even though I know Mondays are stressful for him to miss. The surgery didn't last more than ten minutes. It was the checking in and waiting for the doctors to arrive that took the longest, but they did a great job and I have no complaints.
Already I am seeing the benefits of tubes. At Remi's last appointment I was telling the doctor that I was concerned because Remi is not doing the things Judd was at his age. I told him that he wouldn't even suck out of straw. The doctor told me that could be connected to his ears, because of the pain that comes with sucking. After the operation I had a water bottle that had a straw and Remi took his first sip. I was so excited that I think my eyes got a little watery. I am even seeing Remi imitate sounds that he wouldn't even attempt a day ago. I was taking a picture of him and told him to say "cheese." To my surprise he imitated the word right back. I am so thankful for tubes.
