my today...

today started at 5 a.m., burke must of gotten the memo that he needed to be up cuz he was WIDE AWAKE at 5 today, which worked out just fine since we needed to leave at 6. it actually was quite helpful, we were on time for once! so we got there at 6:00 am. signed him in, got him all prepped and then they came and got him around 7:30 and we had him back in our arms by 8.... they discharged us and we were home by 9! it was wonderful, everything went well. they said that they got out a TON of puss but we wont see about his hearing until they heal and run hearing tests on june 30. he is doing great now, happy as a clam, the only rough part was when the anesthesia was wearing off.. he cried for probably an half hour, but thats it! he did superb! so i guess the real test is coming up in a few hours... bed time.....
at 11:00 we left tegan and burke to go to get chases little minor surgery done.. he has lumps growing on his head, rather disgusting little things so it was time to get them off and whats a better time then when you have people here helping you out, thank you mom, marty and sherrie!... they removed chases lump without a hitch, it was a sebaceous cyst, nothing serious but a very interesting process to watch... they numbed his head, made a little slit down the middle of it and serious popped it out like a zit... the doc was using so must force that he was shaking and seriously hovering off the floor.... he finally got under the little ball capsule thing and popped it off... needless to say, chase will have quite the bruise on his head, his only complaint was trying to hold his neck up while the doc had his full body weight on him...
12:30 we picked up everyones antibiotic's and headed home...
and now i just woke up from a 3 hour nap.... what a day.

if he looked exhausted thats because he was...



chases lovely lump... one of them at least, the other two are small and not nearly as noticeable

after his head as buzzed... VERY noticeable!



it was probably the size of a quarter.. little mini ball... GROSS!

all done!!
