Gavin's Ear Surgery





Our little Gavin had tubes put in his ears this Friday. Dr. Kaszuba did the outpatient surgery at Edward Hospital in Naperville. Gavin was his first patient of the day so we were there bright and early. 5:30! We could not have asked for a better hospital staff or a better experience. Although I had heard horror stories from other mom's about their children being so fussy afterwards we scored lucky. Gavin did an AMAZING job! He seriously was the best little patient ever. Even the anesthesiologist said so!~ Dr. Kaszuba told us the surgery went great and that he removed all the fluid from Gavin's ears. We are hopeful that this did the trick and no more BOO BOO ears :( It really was quite funny though right before the surgery the anesthesiologist gave Gavin a sedative to calm him down. Too bad he didn't have one for me! HAHA. Anyways, he said it is like the equivalent to an adult having one too many drinks. aka..feeling a bit tipsy. Well in less than 10 minutes after getting the medication we had one "tipsy" Gavin He was giggling and laughing and really quite out of it.
Good job Gavin! Mommy is so proud of you and how brave you are. XOXO
