Tate's surgery

Tate's surgery this morning went great! We got to the hospital around 6 am, and had to talk to 100 people before Tate actually went in for the procedure, but it only took about 40 minutes. I really thought it would be more difficult for me, but Cael is so calm during stressful times--he was relaxed and a little excited, he couldn't wait for Tate to be able to hear better and not have to deal with constant ear infections. His attitude wore off on me, which was wonderful!! We waited in a patient room and watched Fox News, which was also an entertaining distraction. Tate was pretty inconsolable when they brought him back to us as the anethesia wore off, but I have never been more happy to see my crying baby! :) We went home and had breakfast with Gma and Gpa Hranac, and put the little fella to bed....and we went to sleep too!

When Tate woke up from his nap, he was much happier, more like the old Tater. :) He had a good day and dealt with having ear drops put in twice really really well! He was back to his old self...until 7pm! Then he got a sudden burst of energy and was running all over the place, laughing like crazy, and playing with Cael and I. It was awesome! He was being a little goof, running full speed at us--Cael is strong enough to lift him right up above his head, I am not, and Tate was loving it. Tate was so rowdy I was worried that he was going to tear his stitches on his ear! Anyway, I am glad he had the surgery and am incredibly relieved that everything went well.

In other news, Tate finally figured out how to say "Uncle Cyler." He's been saying "Uncle Cole" forever, and he finally figured it out. He even said it when Uncle Cyler was at the house. But today at lunch he was repeating it like crazy. He loves his red-headed uncle!

I posted some pics of Tate from today, as you can see, he was in great spirits only a few hours after surgery. The pictures of him in his diaper (at the end of slideshow) are from earlier but I love his goofy smile so I included them.

Later all!
