We're home

Thank you all for your prayers. We are home. Austin did so good. He was nervous, so we took coloring pages and the dot game to keep him occupied. They gave him a "happy drink" but took him away before we could see how it affected him. When the doc came in to talk to us he said it was harder to get than he thought. He had to try 4 or 5 different instruments to get it out. Once they rolled Austin back to us, he was still drowsy. He was confused and didn't understand that the rock wasn't in there anymore. He was disoriented, he saw 2 Diego's on the tv...strange! He cried and was a little combative. But a little time passed and he was more like himself. The anaesthesia did make him sick though. All in all, it was an experience I will never forget. I do have the rock as a souvenir, too. Again, thank you friends for praying. Our God is an AWESOME God!

So glad everything went well. He will definitely have a story to share as he gets older.

This is you in a few years: "Remember that Christmas when Austin got a rock in his ear and had to drink happy jiuce and saw two Diegos and had surgury?"

I'm so glad he came through okay. Give him a squeeze for me.

Oh! Love the new pic!

Glad things went well and they were able to get the rock. I hope the rest of your Holidays are a little less eventful. ;)
