Graham’s upcoming surgery
The other week while I was traveling on business, Graham got into a little trouble at school for not listening to his teachers. No big deal, but we noticed that he also hasn’t been listening at home, and asking us to repeat ourselves quite a bit. We finally took him to see the ENT who put his first ear tubes in, just to check and see if everything was okay.
The doctor discovered that both of Graham’s ears are full of fluid, and it is very much affecting his hearing! Not only does he need a new set of tubes, but the doctor would like to remove his adenoids as well. We felt so badly that he got in trouble at school — and so did his teachers! Poor little guy just can’t hear what people are telling him.
The surgery is coming up in a couple of weeks. We’re much less nervous about this outpatient procedure compared to the first time he had tubes put in. That was very nerve-wracking! So we’ll let you know how it turns out…

Wow, we’ll keep the fam in our prayers … but sounds like things are on the mend. Hmm … I think that’s the first time I’ve ever meant that literally! xoxo
Thanks, Bex. I’m sure everthing’ll be alright the G-Man. He’s had ear tubes before, and we’re a lot less stressed than the first time.
[…] Graham’s surgery was yesterday; he had his adenoids removed, new ear tubes put in, and a skin allergy test done. We were supposed to be at the hospital at 8:15am for the 10:15am procedure. The surgeons experienced some difficulty with their first patient of the day (thankfully no life-threatening complications or anything), so Graham’s procedure was delayed almost an hour and a half. He was a very good boy and cute while were waiting. […]
