Surgery

CJ's surgery to have tubes put in his ears yesterday went really well. Adam was with him when they put him under, and the surgery itself was so fast that Adam wasn't back from getting juice from the cafeteria before it was over. Recovery from the anesthesia was tougher, but watching the bigger kids go through the same thing we feel like CJ sailed through beautifully.

The rest of the day went really well -- he was basically a tired-er leaky-er version of himself. Miraculously, he took all his naps on the regular schedule, which happens only about twice a week. Typing that sentence makes me wonder, can we really call it "regular" or "schedule" if that's the case?

Anyway, aside from some yucky drainage and a very late bedtime, everything is wonderful and normal. The biggest drama or trauma probably goes to Bob, who didn't know this surgery was coming up, and accidentally got the text message "in surgery now. keep your fingers crossed." out of the blue at 7a.m. Sweetheart of a guy, he called several times asking who was in surgery, and didn't even complain about being woken up by such a cryptic missive.

You may all uncross your fingers now. But feel free to continue to pray, if you are so inclined. That never hurts ;-)
