Surgery was a success!

Just wanted to give everyone a quick update on Tyler's surgery. He was a total champ -- very laid back and cooperative with the nurses and doctors. The staff at Memorial Hermann was phenomenal. The pre-registration process was fast and they called us back almost immediately to prep Tyler for surgery. The room was ready for Tyler with a baby hospital gown, teddy bear and the flat screen TV on the Disney Channel. Everyone was very nice and reassuring.

We were only separated from Tyler for about 25 minutes for the surgery and initial recovery. He woke up with the nurses and did not cry even though he did not recognize anyone. All of the nurses and doctors commented on what a cutie he is and how happy and cooperative he was. For about 30 minutes after his surgery he laid on my chest and finally fell asleep -- clearly the anesthesia was still working because he never cuddles like that anymore. I so enjoyed our cuddle time!

Time will tell whether the tubes keep the ear infections at bay and help with the pressure in his ears. We are just thankful to have the surgery behind us!
