Jakey G & his Surgery (#4)

Jake had his 4th ear surgery on December 8th. It was a bit more brutal this time. We are hoping that this newest of eardrums will stay in tact and be good to him. It is killing him to not be able to practice and play baseball with his team. I am determined to keep him somewhat sedentary for a month or so!

He is back to his normal self now but this is what it was like before surgery...
(boy doesn't go anywhere without his baseball hat. The Anesthesiologist chatted with him awhile, saw that his team color was red, and make sure that all his IV sites were wrapped in red coban)

This is him right when he got back from surgery. He was pretty miserable but much calmer this time. They must have added some magic juice (Ativan) to his IV...

This is a closeup of his Frankenstein stitches the day after surgery. They look really good right? Well, to me they do. Normally Jake is a showoff, but he was not fond of me making him show everyone his rad stitches.

All in all it went pretty well. He is on his way to recovery, and hopefully high altitude flying in a few weeks! His longterm wellness goal is to be ready to play hard core baseball in March in AZ.
