DONE

Whew! We are done with surgery in this family for a while (or so we desperately hope!). James did really well today for his adenoidectomy and ear tubes. We got to go back with him and hold him while he fell asleep for surgery. Then, less than an hour later, we got to hold him as he woke up. He did great. The doc said his adenoids were rather large and that the fluid in his ears was pretty thick, so he expected that the surgery would show some pretty fast results. He did vomit in recovery, but then started waving and smiling, and he's done well here at home, eating, drinking and playing. We both felt almost guilty that we weren't more nervous, but this was a piece of cake compared to our last stay. We were also reminded of how blessed we have been so far when we realized that the couple next to us was waiting not only for their child to get out of surgery, but then had to wait another 2 days for oncology results.
