Thank you to all who prayed for Robby's surgical procedures. His ears are doing well now. His pain level is in check with only one regular strength Tylenol every six hours. The doctor took his tubes out, patched the perforations of his ear drum and did an exploratory exam while he was under anesthesia.
It turned out that the tubes were not doing their job and were actually causing infection. Once removed two granulomas were found ( one on each side ) and treated. We may need new tubes once healing has taken place but for right now things are looking good.
Here is Robby pre op. He has the remote for the TV on the wall in one hand ( Thank you Nurse Elaine) and his Game boy in the other
