Silly Cody






~ Silly Monkey ~






The last few weeks have been kind of crazy in the Bautz house. Cody ended up having the ear tube surgery. Over the past 16 months Cody had gotten at least 10 ear infections. After the 7th one we were sent to the specialist. Dr. Kay said that if he got 2 or more in the next 3 months then we should consider the surgery. Well he had 2 in 3 1/2 months so we went back to the specialist. After reviewing the surgery and the fact that Cody only has to go under gas we decided to go for it, especially since when we went he for his pre-op screening, he has another infection.

The day of the surgery we had to be there @ 6:45am for a 7:30a procedure. We were ushered back around 7am and @ 7:30 Dr. Kay came back and went over the procedure 1 last time to make sure we didn't have any other questions. Within 5 minutes Cody was wisked away and back to the waiting room we went. Dr. Kay was finished within 5 minutes and Cody was in recovery within 15. Everything went perfectly, except Cody came out of anesthesia. He was hysterical, it was heartbreaking... Luckily once I got him home and gave him a bubba he was ready to go back to sleepy-time and woke up as if nothing happened and was ready to play.






We went back for our 2 week check-up yesterday and everything looked perfect. So relieved. It just might be coincidence, but we swear his words are much clearer and he is saying more. Just in the last 2 weeks he's saying clock, please, more, ball, truck, apple, grape and a bunch more I can't think of. It's so exciting to watch this little person growing up, but so sad to see my baby turning into a little boy....
