Austin's Surgery

Right before school started, Austin got his 4th set of ear tubes.  We still can't believe he needed yet other set of ear tubes.  We had the surgery done at a local community hospital.  However his surgery time was not until 1pm.  We felt so bad that his surgery was so late.  He was able to have water and clear liquids until 10am but nothing after that.  And no food.  We allowed him to stay up late on Thursday night in hopes he would sleep in on Friday.  As expected, Austin did not sleep in.  He's always up early!

Austin didn't seem to mind that he was having surgery.  He was pretty okay with no food either.  He would let us know that he was hungry but that's about it.  Brian promised him whatever he wanted after surgery.  There was a chance they would take his adenoids out but the doctor said they weren't large so they weren't removed.

The surgery was quick as expected and he recovered quickly and we were discharged within an hour after surgery.  Once we got home, we got Sydney and all went to Denny's for all you can eat pancakes.  Austin was so excited.

We hope this helps his hearing and that it is his last set of tubes!
