Colby got tubes when he was 2 and again when he was 3. The tubes are supposed to stay in for 6-18 months and then fall out on their own. The problem is that if the tubes don't fall out on their own, they could make a permanent hole in the ear... Which is not ideal. Sooooo on Tuesday Colby went in for a minor surgery to get one of his stubborn tubes removed. They also put a paper patch over the hole to hopefully help it close up normally. Colby was pretty nervous, but he was such a trooper!!!
X marks the spot! (We later had to have the discussion that boys aren't allowed to have earrings in mommy's house...I don't care WHO else has them!)
