Tubes for Drew

On the 16th of August we took Drew to St. Francis to have tubes put in his ears.  His right ear has always looked great, but his left ear has been full of fluid for months now.  Funny thing about Drew is that he is a doctor's dream.  Seriously, he does what they say, he doesn't cry or fight the dr. at all!  Sam spent the night with his grandparents since we had to show up at the hospital at 6:30 am to register. After registration, they took us back to meet the nurses and the anesthesiologist that would be taking care of Drew.  Finally around 7:30, Dr. Gibbons arrived and the nurse held her arms out and Drew went right to her.  We waited for him about 30 min. or so and then the Dr. came out to let us know that everything went great and we just had to wait for him to wake up.  About 5 min. later, the nurse came to let us know we could go back and get our little guy.  Drew was snuggled up with a nurse and ready to see his mom!  They let us know that he did great and never cried.  We ended the morning with taking him to McDonalds to get pancakes.  The funny part about the day was that they told us he would be sleepy the rest of the morning, so just go home and let him rest.  Well, not Drew.  After breakfast, we went home and he was ready to go.  I made him sit on the couch for a little while, but he finally looked at me and said he wanted to ride his bike!  That's our Drew, always ready for fun!
