Getting Ear Tubes

This past Friday (September 5) Lukas had minor surgery to insert ear tubes at Texas Pediatric Surgery Center in Richland Hills. He was such a trooper, and we were so proud of him! He got something akin to Valium before the surgery to relax him (because he was mad from being hungry...no food after midnight), so we got to see him "high". It was very funny! The entire surgery only took 7 minutes!! We were so surprised and very grateful at how fast it was. He even got a stuffed dog as we were leaving. Hopefully this will help out with his many ear infections.

Lukas was very bored, so even the hospital bed was interesting for a few minutes.

We are very thankful for all the prayers that surrounded Lukas during his surgery. He got home ,slept off the anesthesia, and was back to normal after a very late lunch.

We were pumped to hear this good news. Addie Bear is next. She has double ear infections now! No fun! This is number eight in the last 10 months. Yuck!
