Ethan's Surgery

We saw the ENT after Ethan's surgery and he said it went really well. So well that he said he could be released today. We went to see him in recovery and when we arrived they said he had been rather aggressive in coming out of the anesthesia, the nurse says "he is suprisingly strong1." It was so hard for me to see him so out of it, thrashing around, screaming, and bleeding a lot. I started feeling really ill so I had to leave for a little bit and calm down. I felt like such an awfully weak mommy and really wished I weren't like that. I wish I could be strong for my kids but I am so grateful for George who helped Ethan through it. Poor thing kept crying and didn't know how to explain how he was feeling. It is such a weird feeling to have medication making you so drowsy and unable to stay awake. We are back at the hotel now and Ethan is resting. He can't do much the next week or so and has this nice mustache made out of gauze taped under his nose. He's in good spirits and handling everything well. We so appreciate everyone's prayers for Ethan's safety and are praying that this surgery will keep him from getting sick so frequently. God is good!
