Brian had a CT scan and hearing test at Primary Children’s Medical Center on January 5 and the ENT surgeon had his surgery scheduled for January 21.  Just like that.  Brian made arrangements and rescheduled rehearsals and lessons to be ready and off we went last Wednesday.

He looks cheery and confident before the surgery, but then those are two of his normal qualities.  The surgeon opened him up behind his ear, removed mastoid bone and infected material, and grafted in a missing section of his ear canal.  He’s been home resting and I’ve been playing nurse for the last few days.  He’s watched many a DVD since Thursday morning.  He’s starting to feel a little more like himself today, but is still quite sore, dizzy, and tired. 

Thanks to everyone who prayed for him.
