Tonsils, Adnoids, and Ear Tubes

Fisher has had about 6 ear infections in the last 6 months and a continuous one for about the last 4 weeks. So after a few trips to the pediatrician and a trip to the ENT, it was decided that he was going to get tubes put in his ears and his adnoids and tonsils removed. I guess the tubes would be an easy one but the tonsil removal causes some pain and risk of bleeding for a week. We are in for an exciting week. Luckily, I was able to take Tuesday thru Friday off of work to stay home with him and Emily.
This is a picture of Fisher when he had one of many of his ear infections over the last 6 months.

The night before his surgery he enjoyed one of his favorite snacks--popcorn.

Here we are just before he headed into surgery, we were twins.


When we got home he slept all day long. Thanks to Aunt Ginny for bringing over some movies and food for us parents.
