Thomas went for surgery today. He had tubes put in his ears to drain the fluid that has been there for more than six months, and possibly much longer. Here’s a few pictures of his trip to the hospital.

A few smiles for the camera, despite the 5:30am wake up.  Such a handsome boy!

 

Took this video to make sure we had his pre-surgery voice recorded.  His annunciation was already improved on the drive home.

 

His new friend he got from the nurse.

Mommy leading by example.  Unfortunately, Thomas refused to wear any of the hospital gowns and went into surgery in only his underwear.

One last smile for the camera before being carried off by Mommy to the operating room.

There they go.  He got to sit on Mommy’s lap while they put him under.

Success!  Everything we well.  The first thing Thomas did when he woke up was ask for Mommy.  He’s such a Mommy’s boy, and Mommy eats it up.  So cute!

Still a little dazed.  He proclaimed after surgery that he couldn’t hear his own voice.  Poor kid.  His ears were so full of fluid, he didn’t even recognize his own voice post surgery.

Feeling a little better and playing some Angry Birds.

Almost ready to go home.  He’s enjoying his first food or drink since the previous night’s dinner.
