Today was a great day for surgery. Jacob got his tubes put in his ears. I am praying that this cuts down on his chronic ear infections, constant ear pulling, and his super clumsy walking. When we met with the ENT, I described all of his symptoms and told Dr. Merrit he needed tubes. One look at Jacob's X-Rays and his ears told the doctor that I was right. Surgery was set, it was at 7:30 this morning.
His surgery was a success, it was a quick procedure, as tubal surgery usually is. Jacob's right ear was worse than the left, it was filled with lots of fluid, wax, and yucky goo. His left ear had minimal fluid in it, but it still had fluid. He woke up slightly disoriented and fussed until he saw his Daddy. Robert left the center and headed to work and I brought little man home for a hearty breakfast and some snuggle time with all of his siblings (three of them were still sleeping when we got home), and lots of time to play.
Enjoying his yummy breakfast. Toast and scrambled eggs, YUM!
Snuggles and cartoon time with big brother Ethan.
Time to take off all his tabs, bandages from the IV, and armbands.
All in all, the surgery was a success. If the active little boy is any indication he is also feeling a lot better already! I am really hoping and praying that this helps his ears, his balance, and his already cheerful disposition. Today was indeed a great morning to have surgery! I for one am very thankful for modern medicine and the healing power of doctors and nurses.
