The Tubes are in!!!!!!!!!

This morning Carter had his ear tube surgery, and praise the Lord all went really well!! Carter was scheduled for 7:30am and so we had to be there at 5:45 which meant Mark & I were up at 4:45 (UGH!). Anderson spent the nite with the Schrodts (a million thanks Katy & David) so that he wouldn't be bothered by our extra early wake-up call. Carter's procedure was very very short and he was a trooper for not being able to eat beforehand! He was even able to hang in his PJs the whole time!!

Thank you to all of the friends & family who lifted up prayers & thoughts for our little man (& mommy too!). The Dr. said that his ears were pretty bad, so I feel reassured that proceeding with the tubes was a wise decision. Now we are looking forward to Carter learning to speak with his newfound hearing!!


the coolest waiting area - complete with toys for every age, the toys helped distract this very hungry little boy

Loving on his bunny, waiting to be seen

the perfect patient allowing the nurse to take his blood pressure without fuss

after surgery, he DOWNED 2 whole sippy cups of apple juice - you would think the boy hadn't drinken in days, not hours!
