Finn's Surgery...

... the tubes were in his ears for two years. Most times they will fall out or dislodge on their own but his stayed put. So...because children will often let dr.'s remove one but then not the other b/c it is so painful, his dr. wanted to schedule surgery to remove the tubes. This worked out to our advantage as we discovered that his adenoids were "huge" (docs word). So we had those removed at the same time the tubes were taken out. Finn was a little trooper as he always is! Quite pitiful and teary when he was coming out of the anesthesia...lots of sobbing/crying and not really knowing why. He had some cartoons, a yummy cold popsicle and his favorite toy of the moment 'Bumblebee' to pass the requisite time before we could leave.

We anticipated some pain and maybe a little sickness from the effects of the anesthesia but their was really none. I think I gave him two doses of the pain meds and that was it. Finn had a great recovery and now you can't hear him snorfling and whumpfeling in his sleep anymore! :)
