I'm early I know, but wanted to wish you luck with Nolan's ear tubes on Monday.... it really wasn't nearly as bad as I'd imagined it to be. I was SO anxious/nervous the night before & until she was out of surgery, but it went so quickly (it was literally only 15 minutes from the time DH left her- he stayed with her when they put her under- and the time that her Dr came out to get us) & everything really was so much better than I figured it would be. She was a complete & utter mess right afterwards (which the nurses had forewarned us she would be, since she felt so groggy from the anesthesia), but after she got home and took a nap, she was literally her complete & normal self, like nothing happened whatsoever.... it was pretty amazing! If you come up with any questions, etc between now & then, feel free to bug me ![]()

From most people I've talked to, they've let one parent go back there while they put him/her under so that things will go more smoothly. We decided that it would be better for DH to go, since I was afraid I'd be a mess and didn't want to freak Mads out even more. When we got there, I found out that they wouldn't have allowed me to be the one to go in since I'm pregnant, which I hadn't known. Just wanted to give you a heads up in case you want to check on that when you get the pre-op call!

Butting in they didn't let us go back, they warned me a nurse would come in check her wrist band and double check her name, and pick her up and go. I am glad I knew that going in because when it happened it was so fast, she was out in 10 minutes and starving. They scheduled us early since they can't eat 12 hours beforehand.
