Zachary's New Tubes

Zachary got his ear tubes this morning. He was a super champ. We were really worried about the morning, as he wasn't allowed to eat or drink for 8 hours. Kyle gave him a bottle around 11pm last night, so that seemed to really help him this morning.

We arrived in PJ's by 6a and he was taken back around 7:15 am. It was a quick procedure, completed by a very experienced ENT Doctor and he had very nice nurses the whole time.

When Z work up, He.Was.Cranky. He guzzled a bottle and then we got to take him home after 45 minutes in the recovery room.

He came home to rest and Grandma Tormoehlen and Uncle Adam brought him a Happy Meal for lunch. It was nice his Grandma was there to help.

Z is resting now and we're hoping this helps alleviate some pain for him this year. His Doctor said he had another ear infection while he was inserting his tubes. Looks like we didn't need to wait any longer!

We'll keep you updated. Thanks for the kind words and prayers.

Digging in his ear already! He had another infection!

Sweet little boy.

Sadly, we now have a collection of hospital bears at home.

Recovery. He wasn't too happy.
