{Tubes & Adenoids}.

Thank you so much for your prayers. It's all over :). They placed tubes in both ears and said he had very, very large adenoids that were blocking at about 90%. Hopefully that will help with drainage in the future. Porter was a little social bug this morning and did great except for about the last 15 minutes of waiting. He finally fell asleep on me only to get woke up to be put right back to sleep. I walked him back to the operating room and stayed with him until he went to sleep. 

P is a little fighter. Most people just see that he is such a smiley little laid back guy, which he is...until you push his buttons :). He's fiery, feisty and passionate and loud. I guess P gave the nurses in recovery a run for their money and woke up furious trying to rip out his IV. His oxygen levels were perfect in recovery and I enjoyed holding him in the rocker...BUT, he'd get so mad when the nurses would walk in the room that he'd start holding his breath and screaming because he was so MAD. After a few times of that, they went ahead and discharged us. It was clear he wasn't going to settle down. He just wanted to be back home and in his environment. The hour drive home was uneventful and when we finally got home he drank and ate really well and took a nice long nap. He's up and running with his brother but still has a few moments where he wants to be held and then gets right back down to play. Praying for an uneventful night and continued easy recovery.
Thanks for the prayers and enjoy a couple of pictures. He was the cutest little patient in his gown :)
