In between times: a quick surgery

A simple routine check revealed what I had been suspecting for a year already. Adrian sometimes not only doesn't want to hear what I'm saying, he also cannot hear what I am saying unless I almost shout at him. The E.N.T. specialist confirmed that his ears are again congested with thickened mucus behind the ear drum (otitis media). Hooray, and off we go for a spontaneous surgery during our home leave. Fortunately, Adrian doesn't feel sick. But soon I realise there's nothing worse than being hospitalised with a kid which is not really sick ;-)


Next morning, the surgery waits for him... It is heart-breaking to see your child with an infusion being rolled away on a bed to the operating theatre. Finally, it all goes well and though he feels weary after the anesthesia he recovers quickly and the ensuing skiing holiday is not endangered. Double phew!!
