Micah Update

This morning, Micah had tubes put in his ears and had his adenoids removed. We are home and Micah is sleeping.

The surgery went as planned, though it took a lot longer from the time he left till the time we saw him than I had thought! They took him back at about 8:35, and we got to see him an hour later. The nurse came and got him, and Micah just walked off, like a very big boy!

Usually what happens when they are waking up from anesthesia is that the nurses actually would put him back to sleep, using the IV he had. Unfortunately, Micah went a little crazy and flailed around so much that his IV came out, and they weren't able to put him back to sleep. They brought Curtis and I back, and poor Micah was a mess! He was screaming, throwing himself around, talking about stuff we didn't understand. It was rough!

But, shortly after 10:00, we were able to come home. Micah told us that he wanted a nap, so he's in taking a rest right now.

The surgery went very well. The doctor told us that his ears looked okay, which is great! There was a large amount of adenoid tissue, which they took care of. We think all that adenoid tissue was what was causing all his problems.

Thank you for your prayers!

KK - (that is my new nickname for you, hope you don't mind:) I am glad that he went back so easily, but I am sad waking up was rough. However, home by 10 is good! Praise the Lord! Hope all things continue well!
