Today, Ethan had his ears checked by the ENT. She found that his left ear tube was completely crusted over and clogged. So she removed it, cleaned out the ear and replaced the tube with a new one. The other ear, well the tube was missing. She said it must have fallen out. She said this is unusual this soon. Typically they stay in 9-18 months. Well it's been less than 4 months since they were put in. So she cleaned out the right ear and then replace the tube.
Ethan also got circumcised today. He did great! Today's experience at the hospital was a good one. Ethan thought he owned the place. We went to register and he took off, playing (and taking ownership) of the toys. Here is Ethan with a new friend.

Ethan did great with pre-op. Typically he screams at the nurses. Today he let them do their job. We were so happy. I had asked Ethan this morning if he was going to be a good boy. He smiled and shook his head "yes". And he was, a very good boy.
After surgery, we waited about 30 min for them to page us. When we walked back, typically he's screaming and fighting the nurses. Well today he was laying on the bed, just looking around. When he saw us, the tears came.
He was in pain. They claimed he was not. But he kept acting like it. They gave him some Tylenol and then passed out. We were in recovery about 30 min and then discharged home.
