What a week!

Sorry I haven't updated from Alan's surgery but Thursday was crazy and today was better but I was exhausted until now.

Alan did WONDERFUL!!! He was such a good boy while they were getting him ready for surgery and the doctors came in to talk to me about everything that would happen. He was the first of many little kids waiting to get tubes put in Wednesday morning. Meaning he was already in getting his put in before 7am. It was a VERY early morning and Alan didn't sleep well the night before. But he had a lot of fluid in his middle ear area and also had some puss so Dr. Scarlett got it all cleaned out and tubes went in easily. Alan was really fussy after he woke up from the laughing gas but after some food he felt a little better, still not happy but better. We got home and he had some cereal and took a long nap and then was happy! We noticed right away that he could hear better and his balance was much better! He does not look like he is drunk anymore when he crawls!

My pre-op appointment went really well. We had some craziness trying to get down to the doctors but once we were there things went better. The doctor is planning on just doing surgery on my right eye now which is a huge blessing. She also said that since I am going to just have one eye done, she doesn't have to put me out for the operation. They will just knock me out long enough to do a local on my eye muscle and then just hang out in la-la land while they work. The big perk to that is that it doesn't take as long for me to come back to reality and I won't feel as sick as I would when I wake up from general anestesia. Considering that I really am not too excited about general anestesia anyway, this seems like a much better option.

Matt finished his last final on Thursday with a 3.4, I believe. All that is left is his comprehensive exam and then graduation! We are very excited because Matt's dad is coming down for graduation and his sister Leslie and her family are coming up too! I know Alan is excited to see his cousins again! I have a feeling that our living room might just be all toys by the end of the weekend! :) But I am totally ok with that.
