No I didn’t say BLT, for a (turkey) bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich.

On Friday, William had a BMT Bilateral Myringotomy With Tubes and an Adenoidectomy (references here and here. The surgery went very well and the reason why I said speedy delivery in the title is because the procedure only takes 30 minutes. I was truly amazed at how fast the surgery is and how many the doctor does each day. The nurses told JT and I that the doctor has an average of 15 per day but on that particular day he had 11. Wow.

I was very thankful that my mom and JT’s sister were there for support. Our prayers were answered… William woke up fighting the nurses and was drinking apple juice within an hour. There was another child there named H. who had the same surgery but was not doing so well afterward. He had to stay on oxygen because he could not breath on his own. I pray that he recuperated well.

My mom is helping out a great deal by spending the entire weekend over our house. William’s appetite is strong but he has been a bit needy… as expected. Keisha stayed strong throughout the day and held her brother’s hand on the way home from the hospital.

We look forward to seeing William have an easier time breathing throughout the night and elimination of fluid in the ear so his hearing can be 100%.
