Bilateral Myringotomy Tympanostomy tube insertion...BMT...tubes

"Are they gonna stick out of his ears?"-J Rocka
Ewwwwww....this fell out of his left ear. The cotton ball that fell out of his right ear would have blended really well with the blanket, if you you what I mean.

So Tyler had tubes put in yesterday at the butt-crack of dawn. I mostly felt bad because he had no clue what was about to happen. He thought he just was going for a ride with nothing to eat. He was a sweetheart to all the nurses. He let them take his temp, his Oxygen level. So good. Until we handed him over to the nurse and they took him to "the room". The Anesthesiologist said he would be upset when he came out. Oh boy, was she right. He was upset and crying. I felt bad. But 3 hours later he was running around and playing with his toys. He had a lot of fluid behind his right ear all the time. It seems like every month he would get sick. In fact he just got a cold 2 days prior to his surgery. I'm happy that he will hear better now and it's all over. Just can't get water in the ears...
