Post-tubes...

Dear Nicky,

It's been a day and half or so since we got your ear tubes put in and you're doing just great. There's been no complications, no discomfort...knock on wood, everything seems to have gone smoothly. Then again, all your procedures have gone smoothly, and they've also gotten less complicated and less dangerous. One of the nurses from the hospital called to check on you, and she said everything sounded okay. Both ears seem fine. There's some dried up gunk coming out of your left ear, and your right had quite a bit of liquid goo coming out over the course of the day. It wasn't bloody. It just looked like a lot of melted wax, which is probably what it mostly was, along with maybe some blood serum or something. You woke up early this morning, around 5:20 and didn't nap after breakfast, so when Shelby came you weren't too good. You fell asleep halfway through. Then Edna came and she hung out with you for the day while I went to Target and made a bunch of phone calls and faxes. Tomorrow we go see Doc Mock or Dr. Chin just to check out those ears, just to be safe.

Love,
Dad
