Anxiety.

We take Carter in tomorrow morning at 5:30 a.m. to the hospital to have tubes put in his ears and have his adenoids removed. I am filled with anxiety and trying to pack his bag. Not a good combination. It leads to me yelling at Mike for 1. not helping and then 2. helping and asking too many questions.

Instead of the outpatient center they are having us go to the hospital because of a blood thing in my family, low protein S. After a discussion with the anesthesiologist and our doctor they decided to move the surgery location and to admit him afterwards to monitor him more closely rather than releasing him right away like they normally do. So we are potentially in for a 23 hour hospital stay in the pediatric unit. Ultimately it is up to our doctor to release us when he feels that Carter is ok. We're hoping for the afternoon.

My mom came in this afternoon to take care of Owen so both Mike and I can be with Carter tomorrow. Lucky for us the hospital is just down the street and not in the medical center. Wish us luck.

I hope everything turns out okay. I can only imagine your anxiety. It is nice that your mom is there to help. When you said you were going to the hospital, I was hoping I would see you (since I am working tonight). However, it is good that the hospital is right down the street. I will be thinking about Carter and you guys tomorrow. Keep us posted :)

I'll keep you in my prayers, and hope everything goes great! I would be so anxious as well. Hopefully he'll be a lot better afterwords with no more infections. Take care.

Good luck tomorrow. I'm sure things will go great. I will keep you in my prayers. I know what it's like. Jayden had surgery at 22 months and it is scary, but kids pull through so well. He was up and around the same day. I'll be thinking of you.
