Cameron's 1st surgery

Cameron had to get tubes put in today in both ears. We had to be at the hospital at 5:30 a.m. to get admitted. Yeah, they don't tell you that you will have to wait 30 minutes once you get there to get called to sign the paperwork. We were #3 getting signed in, but everyone after us got called before us. You can imagine this was very inconvenient when we have a 2 yr. old who has been awoken VERY EARLY in the morning. We took him in his pjs and he loved that.
Cameron did very good before, during, and somewhat after. =) He entertained everyone in the waiting rooms, day surgery halls, and the nurses. As soon as we got to the day surgery floor we had to wait again to get a room assigned to us. You would think that wouldnt be a problem with over 30 rooms. Well as we waiting, Cameron kept calling for his Nana at the top of his lungs. SO FUNNY! Pretty soon, she walked around the corner andthen he started calling for Grandpa. When we got into the room, we immediately knew it would be a lost cause trying to confine him to that room. So his nana found a wagon to walk him around in. He LOVED it, but you can't tell from the pics. During his many walks, the nurse did his stats. When they gave him his loopy med (versat?), the entertainment really beefed up. Cameron was so funny. He couldn't hold his head up at all. He was in la la land. Pretty soon the surgical nurse came and got him. He did very good through the whole process they said. He was soon back with us in the room. We then had a very cranky toddler who didnt want to drink or eat anything. Surprisingly we were discharged pretty quick. He got some presents for being so good. Nanny gave him a Tigger stuffed animal. Nana and Grandpa gave him a slinky & small Elmo toy. He was such a good patient.
