Cade's tube surgery

Cade had the tube put in his ear on Friday. The doctor was running late so he didn't go in for surgery until 11am! That's a long morning for a two year old who hasn't had anything to eat or drink. He had a few fits, but overall did awesome. After surgery the doctor came out and said all went really well. He got a lot of thick fluid out of the ear and said he should be hearing about 60% better!!!! That is a lot for a kid with one ear! After surgery the nurse went over discharge instructions with me and said that Cade will likely be sleepy and unsteady for the rest of the day and that I should encourage quiet indoor play. No one told that to Cade and by the time we left you never would have guessed that he got out of surgery 30 minutes prior!! There is no stopping my little ball of energy! Matt and I have been testing Cade's hearing out and we really do see a difference. We are know hoping that this will be the last tube for Mr. Cade. Third time's a charm, right?



This is a picture of Cade while waiting for surgery. We wait in a little room that is divided into 4 waiting rooms. I thought it was a little funny that for all 3 of Cade's surgery's here we have been in the waiting area!!
