Tubes

Tripp got tubes placed in his ears this morning at Wolfson's Childrens Hospital in Jacksonville.  So far, this is the quickest surgical procedure he has had. I think Josh and I were in the waiting room for maybe 15-20 minutes before they came to take us back to the recovery area.  Tripp did really well! Since the procedure was so quick, he was only under for a short period. He didn't have to get an IV or be intubated, so recovery was smooth unlike other times.  It was nice to see him awake when they brought him back and not still groggy, thrashing, crying & desatting.  I'm so glad we went ahead with this and didn't wait any longer.  Dr. Sprecher said there was fluid in both ears and it was thick like glue. :o(   We follow up with him in a month and Tripp will have a hearing test done that day.  We can already tell a difference b/c he's reacting to really loud noises slightly different now and has been babbling non stop since we got him home! :o)    Thanks for checking in on him and for all the prayers that are lifted up for him!   Here are some pictures of him playing in the waiting room this morning!
