2nd surgery

Somewhere along here Gavin had his 2nd surgery in a little over 2 years. He had had a chronic ear infection since before Christmas. He had been on antibiotic after antibiotic with no results. We then resorted taking him to the doctor 3 days a week for 2 weeks to get 2 shots each time. It was a very strong antibiotic that they had hoped with clear it up. Of course it didn't and he was scheduled to have tubes in his ears. The whole procedure went pretty quickly. We were only at the hospital about 3 hours. Part of that was because the surgeon overslept! The surgery itself only took about 10 minutes they said. Acutally his surgeon told me it took longer to fill out the pre and post paperwork than it did to acutally do the surgery! However don't be fooled the cost of surgery did not however seem to reflect this! I am happy to report however that Mr. Gavin has not had a single ear infection since! Which has made everyones lives much happier!
