Totally Tubular

When I saw the Dad before me exit the OR in tears, my heart sank. I was delegated, not by choice, to hold Jake while the Anasteziologist gave him the gas. I'll have to admit, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. The little guy just dozed off to sleep and I left. Maybe it was the staff at the ENT, they were great. Every step of the process was explained and we were reassured it was going to be quick and easy. It was... Jake was great. He took it like the little man he is and didn't complain at all. The operation certainly didn't ruin his appetite, he was eating before he woke up! By the time we got home, it was situation normal climbing on Daddy and screaming at Zak. I was off to work, but Mommy assured me the Bambino was in typical form. When I saw him tonight, he was smiling and cuddling just like a guy who had a long day and was happy to be home. I rocked him to sleep and noticed how much better he was breathing already. All in all, the little man is going to be feeling much better from his hard work today...
