Baby's First Surgery

We're home already!  That was easy (for me).

Everything went well. Nicholas was delightful and charming in the pre-op, so much so that the entire nursing staff stopped what they were doing to watch him walk out when he was called in.  Sarah stayed with him while they did the anesthesia, and then came out to join me.

The surgery itself takes about fifteen minutes, so Sarah had barely sat down when the doctor came out to tell us he was done, and only another five minutes before we went to join Nicholas in recovery—where, fortunately, there was a Thomas the Tank Engine video.  He was a little upset as he was waking up, just from feeling off and out of it.  But he's also loaded up on Tylenol, so his ears should feel fine.

And so now we're home, where Nicholas is eating everything in sight (he couldn't eat or drink this morning before the surgery).  As we were driving home he specifically requested a chocolate donut, which we obliged. (And possibly got donuts for ourselves too ...)

Anyway, that's it for the updates. Hopefully by tomorrow we'll be back to a steady stream of semi-posed photos and passive-aggressive snark about taking so many photos.
