Eli's Ears


Cool hospital socks!


After months of ear infections and fluid on his ears, Eli was finally sent to the specialist!! After a short evaluation the doctor recommended tubes for Eli!! We are so happy that he will finally be out of pain and be able to hear clearly. It was amazing how short the actual surgery was, less than 30 mins. He was a trooper. We got a very early appointment, they got him right in and we were home before 10am. Grandma came to visit and brought a blow up dinosaur! Eli got a blue latex glove as a hospital souvenir and chased me all over the house with it. Its been 2 weeks since the surgery, he is talking more clearly and expanding his vocabulary. Yipee!!!

Notice the dinosaur is wearing the glove!

Savannah had ear tubes & I noticed such a difference after the surgery. It stinks when they're always in pain & can't hear very well. So glad to hear he's doing better!
