We had hoped it wasn't true, but low and behold on February 6th Brendan had his 8th, yes that's right 8th, set of ear tubes surgeries. It was a breeze, thank goodness, though you will see from this clip someone was a bit feisty afterwards.
Brendan was having some nerves beforehand, but his doctor's and nurses were all great and helped him to relax. His anesthesiologist even found him lime flavored scent for the "gas mask!" If that wasn't cool, and we found out that Dr. Cook even let Brendan hold the mask on for his surgery. His E.N.T., Dr. Wilson, said that hopefully this would be our last go around with ear tubes. Joe had some problems growing up too, so let's just hope it doesn't damage his hearing too much.
After the surgery, Grandma Peggy came in with some balloons and Bakugan for Brendan. He got his special bunny from NOCH, I think this is his fourth!! Then Grandpa came by with a plate of sushi for Brendan to take home with him. And if that wasn't enough... He and Dad went out for a special sushi lunch later that day after he was feeling a bit better! Talk about living the high life! I am dying for sushi and this little munchkin has eaten it three times in the last two weeks.
He's feeling great now, and he says he can hear much clearer. Thank heavens... I was beginning to think we might be needing to get a hearing aid. ;-)
