Grady Gets Ear Tubes

After several months of dealing with a persistent and stubborn ear infection, in fact, Grady's ears were pretty much infected from mid December to Feb. 27th, the decision was made to have tubes put in. He went through 4 rounds of antibiotics and a series of shots, but nothing would clear it up. So on Friday, we arrived at the Outpatient Surgery Center at 6:15am, with his procedure at 7:45am. The procedure only lasted about 10 minutes, but they did have to give him a bit of anaesthesia. We stayed with him to he was pretty much out, then they took him back for the procedure.

Grady did great! We came home and rested and by late afternoon, he was almost back to normal. In fact, over the weekend, we could already tell an improvement in him, especially his walking and balance. He seems to feel so much better, which is great!! Glad to have that behind us.

Grady is Walking!

Grady is finally walking! It only took him 19 months, but he is walking now. He walks well between the two of us, and is starting to venture out on his own as well. It won't be long now.
