Tubes

A follow-up ENT appointment revealed that the fluid in Mathias' ears isn't going away. To pre-empt a potential infection, we decided to have tubes put in his ears. The surgery at Children's took literally 6 minutes to complete. Of course, all the pre-operation checkups took about two hours.... Slated for operation at 8 in the morning we were to show up at six. The surgery was very uneventful, at least for Mathias. It took quite a toll on his parents to watch him get sedated and carted away...

In a case of brilliant timing, M was awake between midnight and 5 in the morning prior to his surgery complaining about the front teeth that are making their way through his gums.

It has been a very long day today. Good night!
