Tubes In, Earaches Out!

Or so we hope...

Friday morning we took Brody to the MS Surgical Center for tubes. Dr. Sneed did the operation. He was great. He reassured us as best he could and was very quick! He did say that his ears were a nasty mess, Thanks Doc. But that there was so much fluid on his left ear that he ear drum was compressed and he had to use a smaller tube. But he deemed the operation a success and we go back in a month for a check up.

I talked to many people who have been through this and thought I was somewhat prepared for what was to come. But I had no idea. He woke up like a monster! He fought me and flailed around, it was the craziest thing I've ever seen. Thank goodness that part only last about 20 minutes and he passed out in my arms.

He was pretty fussy the rest of the morning, but fell asleep for 3 hours around lunchtime! He woke up in such a good mood. I could tell he was feeling better already! We had dinner at my parents house and he fell asleep around 8:00. Woke up feeling good today too. So far so good...

Here are some pics we took.
