We visited Children's hospital in Minneapolis again on Wednesday, July 1st. Owen had surgery to put tubes in his ears. The tubes are recommended for children who either have recurring ear infections or have fluid behind the eardrum that doesn't go away. Owen had both. During this procedure an ENT surgeon makes a small incision in the ear drum and places the tube through the hole. It takes all of about 10 minutes.
I think the hardest part of the day was watching the doctors take Owen away to the operating room. He has been quite the lil' trooper through this all...he even slept through the night on Wednesday...we thought for sure he would be waking up for more Tylenol, but never did. Now we pray the tubes will do their job and we will be rid of fluid in the ears and ear infections for good!
