Nathan had his surgery

Nathan had his ear surgery this past Tuesday. I think I was more nervous than he was. We sat him down and explained to him as simple as possible what to expect. He did well the morning of surgery. I thought all the doctors and nurses in his room would freak him out but he was totally fine. The surgery to put the tubes in was less than 15 minutes. We went to the recovery room soon after and Nathan woke up and was quiet for about 5 minutes then he was back to normal. The nurse told me to expect him to be drowsy for the rest of the day but not my Nathan! He was running and playing around as soon as we got home. Everything went well with the surgery but...two days after, we found blood in Nate's urine. We are still unsure if it's related to the surgery. Many blood tests were run (they took four tubes of blood) and so far they have all turned out negative...thank goodness. It's possible that it's a reaction to the anesthesia but that's very rare. We have a follow up appointment tomorrow. Poor Nate has been through a lot this week.
