Liam had his ear tubes put in yesterday at Children's Hospital. Everything went just as expected. Liam was a trooper and handled all the changes to his schedule very well.
The ENT did say that he suctioned out a lot of thick, mucousy fluid from Liam's ears, which he did not seem to think would have drained out on his own. He was able to treat the inside of the ears directly with antibiotics and some steroids to reduce swelling. He then put in the the tubes with no problems. Liam handled the anesthesia quite well - it was just breathed in through a mask... no IV, no intubation, which was easier for him. He took about 30 minutes to work-through 'waking up' and getting back to himself.
He came home by 10 am, took some good naps and was back to his old self by dinner time. He is home playing with Grandma Mary and Grandpa Clancy today and will be back at daycare tomorrow. Thank you all for your positive thoughts yesterday!
Will post some cute pictures of Liam in his little hospital gown soon!
