Cool, I get nurses to flirt with again....

As we blogged earlier this week, Oliver needs to have an ear operation (grommets) and today's the day.  We were very fortunate to have his operation 'rushed forward' by our specialist - and forever thankful.

Of course, for Oliver, this means a day of flirting with medical staff male and female, young and old.

Above, you can see Oliver in the pre-op room. The Anaesthetist was superb, giving him a replica of the gas mask to play with, then getting him to have turns at breathing through it.

Soon after this photo, brave little O went through the doors, with mum. Forty minutes later, he emerged with mum, very groggy.  Waking up was very very sad - lots and lots of crying. (If you've 'been under' you'll know that a 15 month old isn't going to cope well)

But the amazing news is, later the same day, we could already see improvements in his hearing and balance. (!!!) Bottom line: If your little one is having recurring, serious ear infections, we totally recommend this procedure.

It's an absolute lifechanger!
