Preston's Tympanostomy Bilateral Surgery...

(tim-pan-AW-stah-me) The nurse showed us a paper telling us the surgery that Preston was going to be having and that is what she showed us. Matt looks at it asking, "does that mean tubes?" Yes is does. It's quite the name for saying tubes in both ears. Preston had to get tubes because he has had a constant ear infection since he was 4 months old. By the 5th infection the doctors and I had enough. Preston was a trooper. He screamed the whole ride to the hospital which was hard for Matt and I because it was 5 in the morning and you cannot give him a bottle. I sat in the back seat with him and his face was so sad every cry he let out. Once we got to Primary Children's he was fine. He played with the toys, people, and bubbles and didn't even know what was coming. Matt and I were sad to give him the the anethesiologist who was taking him back to the surgery room and as he walked off with Preston we watched him go down the hall and Preston didn't care a bit. He just gave the usual "Preston Look" and he was off.

Here is a picture of Preston in his hospital attire.

Preston has been such a good boy since the surgery. He did so well Friday and yesterday we celebrated with banana splits allowing Preston to have a nice dose of Ice Cream as a treat.
