Success!

This morning Windsor had tubes put in his ears. It was fairly non-traumatic -- which I did not expect.

Here's Windsor with his hospital gown on.



After about 15 minutes, our doctor came out to report that the procedure had gone fine and that there was way more fluid in his ears than she previously thought. She also added the delicious detail that it was thick and sticky -- she said he had "glue ear." Yum. She also said that Windsor has probably been hearing most of what we say as "wah wah wah" -- not unlike Miss Othmar, Charlie Brown's teacher.

We went back to recovery and Windsor was surprisingly quiet. Most kids scream their faces off at this point, but not our guy! We gave him a bottle and then he started crying a bit, but after a few minutes he fell asleep. When he woke up, we got dressed and headed home.



Windsor is in his bed now snoozing off his stressful morning. We're all glad the whole thing is over!

Poor baby, it sounds like the tubes were absolutely the right thing for him. Glad it's over and that it was easier than you were expecting.
