There is something about the end of October/first of November, that both my boys end up getting "under the weather" at the same time.
Technically, this time, Andrew had to have his tubes reinserted and his adenoids removed on November 2nd. So it wasn't just him being ill (of course, the Dr. said that both ears were infected when he inserted the tubes - but Andrew is so used to it, he wasn't acting sick or anything prior...)
However, the day before the procedure, David came down with a nasty "cold" and aching ear. So on Monday, our good friends Dianne and Ray Scott along with Lynn Bailey accompanied me during Andrew's procedure and Lynn stayed with me while he recovered and helped me get him settled at home. Those friends were huge Blessings and I would have had a hard time without having Lynn during the recovery and getting Andrew home. Andrew took a LONG time to calm down after coming out of anesthesia. (I think he will always be known in the surgery center now!) He also threw up in my car on the way home. It was a busy morning!
During Andrew's procedure, David learned from our family physician, that he himself had a raging ear infection and "flu-like symptoms" but because he didn't have a fever that he did not have the flu (?). But he was in fact contagious, so he had to stay away from Andrew until today - Wednesday.
The past few days have been "wild". After getting over grogginess from anesthesia, Andrew went WILD. He went to a whole other level of hyperactivity that I've never seen. Of course, a super hyper mode would be followed with a crying breakdown but I am hoping that has subsided. David's feeling better - thankfully and so it seems as if we're on the road to recovery...PHEW!
(I think he looks a BIT like me here! LOL)
