The Tubes


Cole was such a good baby for the ENT and all the nurses on the day of his surgery (Monday, March 14th). He was in a great mood during what I imagined would be a horrendous waiting period. Joey said he was flirting with all the nurses.

In the days that followed his surgery, I noticed a big change in how he reacted to everyday sounds. It seemed that his bouts of pain and sickness were finally over, but we were wrong. Poor baby... now he has some nasty virus. He's had a fever since Friday. It got so high that we took him to the ER Sunday night. The ER doc said there really wasn't anything he could do about it, so the saying's true. Viruses really do have to run their course. Through it all, I'm amazed at his happy-go-lucky spirit. The fever hasn't seemed to slow him down too much.

This video clip shows just how resilient babies can be. You'll notice he's playing with a tambourine. That was the toy he picked out right before he went in for surgery. It sounds like static on this video, but, believe me, it sounds like a real tambourine at home!
