Kosair Hospital is amazing. Owen had tubes put in his little ears after fighting months and months of ear infections and fluid issues. While wating for nurses and the doctor they have a play room and cars they can ride thru the halls in. So cool right? Why don't adults get fun stuff like this?
Owen couldn't wait to get his gown on. He was just given what the doctor called "goofy juice". It is given so kids aren't so unhappy when they take him away from mom and go back to the OR. It takes about 5 minutes to take effect. It was right on time. I sat him down and he fell over. Luckily I caught him but when it kicks in- it is fast!
Now you can see why it is called goofy juice. He was too funny!
The nurses warned me that when the goofy juice wore off he would be very grumpy. Not in pain as it appears he is but in a major fog that he does not understand. It is a quick anesthesia which put him under quickly but he wakes up just as quickly in a strange room with his ears feeling funny. Bear like? Ha - he was down right unhappy.
But briefly it was nothing that a frosty from Wendy's couldn't fix. Again, I say briefly. The click of the camera made him mad and I am still finding frosty on my walls where he launched it. But after kicking and screaming for a very long 30 minutes or so he took a 4 hour nap and woke up happier. Today he is completely back to normal. Yeah!
