What a TROOPER! Dawson has had ear pain for months and months. Everytime we go to the doctor (which is every other month) he's got a double ear infection and needs antibiotics. The tubes that we put in two years ago fell out so we needed to put them back in.
He also got his adnoids out, to help with the drainage. His tonsills, thank goodness, were fine so they left them in. Whew!
Freezing cold at 6:20am this morning:
Waiting. We waited and waited. He was enchanted by this GINORMOUS fire engine! The ladder stretched out to be taller than he was!
I introduce you to Mr. Cutie Bear. Dawson named him all by himself. He got to buy this stuffed bear to be his little buddy in surgery. He loves Mr. Cutie Bear!
He loves blocks! He played with them for a very long time.
He got bored with the blocks so we moved onto playing Super Mario Bros. He forgot about being nervous.
55 minutes later.........................................................
They brought him out and he was able to snuggle with me. The I.V. was sure painful, but after he got that out, he was much better. He's still really out of it at this point. I am exhausted, I went to bed at 1:30 am and got up at 5:30am. My mind just wouldn't shut down!
Dawson still isn't all that awake, but he's munching on the popcicle. All of the nurses swooned and doted on Dawson, since he's just too darn cute. He got waited on hand-and-foot!!
This was our FABULOUS Nurse Brandi. She was absolutely WONDERFUL!
Thanks to my Mom for going with me! You braved -2 degree weather at 6:15 am to be with me and to help me! Thank you so much!!! Love you!

I am glad he was such a trooper and everything went well.
Dawson is a brave little guy...and so sweet and trusting. Hope he's back to his normal self and pain free soon. Loved being with you this morning. Was worth the cold. And thanks for all the help with quizing me on my chinese character flashcards! You're ruthless!!
sometimes the kids do better than the moms! glad you, and Dawson are ok. hopefully no more ear infections!
Wow! What a brave little boy you have there! What a trooper! Dr. offices are NEVER fun but an early morning Dr. appointment and an IV, even yuckier! :) Glad everything went well.
If I was a nurse, Dawson would have been my favorite patient of the day. He is the cutest kid ever, and I know I am not bias at all. :)
