After enduring many, many ear infections, Robbie will hopefully have some relief now. We decided after talking to an ear, nose and throat specialist, that he needed to get tubes put in his ears. We had to arrive at 6:30am, and the surgery started at 8:00am. Robbie did great...he didn't fuss hardly at all leading up to it, and just fussed a little when coming out of the anesthesia (sp?). He was quite the trooper. I know that I cried more than he did. The doctor was great, and came out as soon as it was over to let us know that it went well. Our pastor and his wife came to be with us, and took us out to breakfast at McDonalds afterwards. We're relieved that it is over, and that Robbie will have some relief, and even be able to hear better now.
 Getting his hospital bracelet (or anklet, in his case.).  Getting the vitals.  Smiling for the camera.   Robbie was pretty out of it afterwards...here he is with the monkey that the Kimbroughs brought him at the hospital.  Once we got to McDonalds and he got some food, he was a happy boy, talking to his new monkey.  |
