Post-op, A-Okay!

Just a quick note to say Ezra made it through his ear tube surgery totally problem-free. Gabe and I breathed a big sigh of relief. It's a simple procedure, but the risks of general anesthesia, plus all the waiver forms that spelled out all the potential risks left us a bit freaked out.
But it only took 15 minutes between when they took him back to put him under anesthesia and when the doc came out to tell us it was all over and he was fine. Ezra was pretty loopy after he woke up - floppy and almost punch-drunk. But he already says he can hear better. And he says the whole thing was fun! Why wouldn't he say that - he got to watch much of 101 Dalmatians before and after the surgery, and he got to drink apple juice and have cookies afterward, plus we gave him a new little Lego guy. Now he wants to know if he'll get a toy every time he goes to the doctor. Um, sorry.



Love, Ash, Gabe, Ezra & Oliver
