Ear Surgery Update

Hi -

Jonathan's ear surgery and bronchoscopy is complete. The 1 mm tubes were placed and we have some lovely photos of his bronchial tubes and vocal cords. He is going to have one memorable baby book. His airway passages are narrower than usual, but now that we know this any problems he may have this winter should be easier to treat. I want to say he did well, but his recovery was a bit difficult - LOTS of wailing which is atypical of Jonathan's pleasant personality. He is fine today - he came home at 8am this morning and is receiving loads of lovin' from his siblings. I can't make a call on his hearing yet - there is probably still swelling in the ear canal and he is getting drops twice a day. Hopefully in the next few days we will see some dramatic improvement.

Only one more week of summer vacation remains - I am kind-of sad. I will miss Abigail, Luke and Marie - I'm soooo glad Jonathan is here - we should be able to keep pretty busy.

Love -
Jill
