Tubes, Tubes, Tubes

Haigen has had bad ear infections since he was little and had tubes put in when he was 1 and 2. Now at 3 year's old he had to go in and have them taken out. He was having some problems with noise sensitivity due to the tube being ready to fall out so his ENT suggested that we just take them out and put a patch over the hole. Haigen was a champ! His Anesthesiologist was amazing! She came into the room and gave Haigen a little mask with bubble gum smell in it, then she proceeded to tell him that they would be going on an airplane ride and he got to be the co-pilot. When he got back to the OR she let him touch a bunch of buttons and then made him do his "seat belt" up on the operating table, then she had him put his mask on and he was out! He did great and has recovered great. Now crossing our fingers that he does not get anymore ear infections or we will have to get tubes again.
