Minor surgery

Lincoln needed an upper GI scope done to try and figure out why he sometimes spits up/throws up blood (not bright red blood but usually older blood, which looks like coffee grounds). I knew they wouldn't find anything so I insisted that if they were putting him under general anesthesia for that, we would have ear tubes put in at the same time so at least the entire thing wasn't a waste of time (and mommy stressing out that her baby boy is getting anesthesia). Lincoln has had 5 ear infections this winter and has been on antibiotics more times than Jezelle has in 4 1/2 years. So, we did something about it. He did well and came out a bit grumpy but recovered quickly! Phew! Glad that's over with. (I love the picture below because it gives you just a glimpse of how much this boy absolutely adores his daddy.)



his lovey giraffe went in with him and got a medical band too.
