After almost a year of fluid in the middle ear, countless ear infections and mild hearing loss we made the difficult decision to have ear tubes placed in both Finn's ears. Finn was a champion - as always - the nurses even asked how we prepared him for the experience he was so well behaved. While awaiting the anesthesiologist, Finn bonded with a plastic toy truck which he brought into the OR with him, to the recovery room after and refused to relinquish it even while I nursed him post surgery (yes the truck did have sharp corners- ouch!). Luckily we were able to distract him long enough to pull a bait and switch prior to leaving the hospital. Finn is recovering well and has quickly returned to his energetic self.
