Liev has had tubes in his ears for the past 2 years. We have been taking him in every 3-4 months to have them checked and make sure everything is all ok. Finally Dr. Katz said it's time to get them taken out since they didn't fall out on their own. He said if we left them in too much longer then there's a possibility that the holes wouldn't close on their own. So we got the surgery scheduled and early that morning Mr. Liev and I headed to the hospital. He was pretty nervous but still in good spirits as we got him all prepped. They told him to bring a favorite toy so he brought his green motorcycle with him to keep him company. He loved his little gown and the red socks they gave him to wear. When the anesthesiologist came to take him away, he got pretty scared and cried but his nurse was so sweet and helped calm him down as they were wheeling him away. The surgery itself was only 15 or 20 minutes and Dr. Katz said things went great. Liev was pretty groggy and cranky after he woke up but on the way home we stopped at McDonalds and had pancakes together and that seemed to cheer him up a little bit. He was a trooper and we're so glad those tubes are out! Swimming pool here we come!
