Easy peasy – that’s how the tubes surgery went! Hooray! We got over to Children’s South bright and early around 5:50 am. Spencer wasn’t quite sure why he was up so early but had fun checking out the waiting room and making friends…
They then took us back and got everything ready to go. Every single person we encountered could not have been nicer or more helpful. Plus, we had several that said Barry (Susan’s husband who works at Children’s) had mentioned that they needed to be extra good to Spencer! 🙂 We felt very well taken care of!

What? Doesn’t everyone take selfies before surgery? No? 🙂
They took him back and, I am not kidding, Dr. Bhuta was back in our room within 12 minutes to tell us it all went great. She said he did have some sitting fluid in his ears so they vacuumed that out and gave us some antibiotic drops. Other than going in for a checkup in 3 weeks, we’re all set! Spencer came out about 10 minutes later – with his puppy and apple juice in tow! – and was pretty groggy. They took all his vitals and had us hang out for a few more minutes to make sure he was ok, which he was despite a little fussiness.
We were back in the car by 7:45 and home eating breakfast by 8:30!
Spencer continued to do great all day. You couldn’t even tell he’d had anything done that morning! Now let’s hope we’re done with ear infections FOREVER!
Happy weekend to you all!
So thankful all went so well! “Ears” to better days!
Bye bye infections! Hats off to the patient, he did great.
I think that this will make a great change in Spencer’s health. He will be more comfortable. Yea! for Spencer.
Great news! So glad to hear everything went so well. Yeah, Spencer!
