Toby's got the tubes
Thats right--after several ear infections and a bit of a speech delay, we decided to get tubes in Tobin's ears. Well, i guess we didnt decide, the ENT did, but you get the idea. Jake brought Toby to the hospital early Monday morning, and was home 2 hours later. The surgery only took 15 minutes, but was very effective. The doc said there was a ton of gunk packed into Tobys ears. Apparently everything Tobin was hearing was muffled. I dont know how long it has been like that, but each time we ask him to say "mama", he said "baba". Anyway....Jake said that when Tobin got out of surgery he was aunrey as all get out, squirming around and getting upset at everyone. Was this the anesthesia or just our normal little boy? Most likely a bit of both. So, it has been 2 days and Tobin is doing great. In fact, and hour after he got home, he was doing great. I bet he is feeling a lot better since there is no longer heaps of goop clogging his ears. Thank heavens for the tubes.

Oh wow, how does that happen? The gunk build-up, I mean? Poor little guy. I'm glad he's doing better now. Can you guys tell a difference?
