Tubes: Myringotomy -- 1st Surgery

Noah's First Surgery: March 5th of 2004 Noah had to go into the hospital for Myringotomy Tube Surgery. He was such a wee little man to be having to go through this and Doug and I were a little worried, although hoping it would bring him some relief fro all the ear infections he had been having. We checked into Mercy Medical Center at 7am and they took him back to do the surgery at 8:15 after giving him a mild sedative. It took Dr. Kenny about 10 minutes to put the tubes in Noah's ears and then he had to go to recovery for about 25 minutes. We couldn't go into the surgery suite with him and I waited impatiently right outside of recovery until they brought him out to me. I could hear him crying as they walked down the hall towards us and I could not wait to get him back into my arms. When we got him back into our little room at outpatients he was one grumpy little guy. We put drops in his ears and gave him Tylenol for pain for the next couple of days. He was such a little trooper though. We were definitely glad he made it through with no problems and are praying it helps his ears.
