Pre-Halloween Cookie Party
Will had his second ear surgery on Friday. It was a blow to miss his Halloween festivities at school — and with that, the opportunity to wear Luke Skywalker clothes — so Paul and I tried to make the morning as special as we could. He watched a Transformers cartoon Movie, one that Paul and I kept remembering and forgetting (Wait, what? Optimus Prime dies? A machine that eats planets?) We were very supportive and did not make fun of him on the Goofy Juice. Even when he turned to me and said, “Mommy, I have to say something. You have two heads.”
He did great. Both ears were full of fluid. Instantly after surgery his hearing improved. Our instructions are to use Cipro drops, which are like liquid gold, to keep his ears clear. Since it took 3 weeks for one of his last tubes to fall out and 5 months for the other to completely clog, we are looking at daily drops for a long, long time. Have we put in the drops today? Is the new household mantra. Please feel free to ask us, because we are likely to forget by tomorrow.
When he left the hospital at 2pm with a sleepy, sleepy kid, we were sure he wasn’t going to make a 6pm party.
HA.
Cookie making with friends trumps ear surgery.
Thank goodness. We needed the night out, too.
I know it’s six months away, but who can resist the hat?
