Wyatt's Surgery

Yesterday Wyatt finally had surgery to remove his tonsils & adnoids & had tubes put in. He's been struggling this year with several strep & ear infections. He's failed several hearing tests & back in August, he was on several rounds of antibiotics that couldn't kick his ear infection. After visiting the specialist, we found out just how bad it was. His adnoids were 50% larger than what they should have been & the pressure in his ears were similar to the feeling on an airplane right before they pop. They left it up to us whether or not to take out his tonsils but we just figured that while they were doing surgery that we should just do it. Boy am I glad we did! His tonsils were full of infection yesterday! I'm so proud of him on how he handled everything! He probably has a higher pain tolerance than I do & he has been handling so well. They gave him a medication right before he went in that made him pretty out of it & it was cute to see the perma-smile on his face! We hope that the next week or so continues to go well & that he heals quickly from this. I'm mostly praying for a big improvement in his hearing too! Here are  few pics from the day!
