Procedure #15, 16, and 17

Cade got his tonsils, part of his adenoids, and ear tubes put in without any complications. His surgery went very well. Dr. Moe, his ENT, (whom I think is brilliant with the best bedside manner) sat down with us after the surgery. He said "this is what normal tonsils look like, this is what Cade's look like. This is what normal bones in the ear look like, this is what Cade's look like," etc. etc. He also had a hearing screen which revealed mild to moderate hearing loss in both ears that will require hearing aids. I was almost glad to hear this because it can explain some of his speech delay. He should get fitted for hearing aids this summer and hopefully everything will be in place when he goes back to school. I have already met the district's hearing loss specialist and she is fabulous and will be tons of help with Cade. We plan to meet with her weekly until school starts. Cade bounced back from his surgery quickly, as Cade always does. He gives new meaning to the word TOUGH. He did a little bit of this...and a lot of this...
We were bored...

And you know I can't resist snapping a pic of his cute little butt!
He had no trouble picking up with eating the very next day. He was running laps around the nurses station ready to bust out of there. And I let him because in my opinion, we should have been out hours earlier, just sayin.
And Yes Rocky is on his shirt because he is way tougher than Rocky.
