Surgery #9

Today was Benjamin's 9th surgery - a bilateral myringotomy, aka tubes in his ears.  It went really well and was the easiest by far.  We were able to do it in a surgery center so we were discharged just over 2 hours from the time we arrived!  The staff loved him, and said they wanted to keep him because he was an easy patient.  He's had lots of practice!

Benjamin and Cookie in their surgery attire.  Benjamin was quite intrigued by the "flashlight" on the end of his finger.  Pretty cool that Cookie got to wear a fun hat and ID band too!

 A special post-surgery gift from the Dumlers - Benjamin gets to play his guitar in the hospital now just like Cody!

Benjamin loves music.  He amazed me by starting to clap on beat before the age of 3.  Both him and Samuel love it when Brian brings out his guitar.  For Christmas, Ben and Lisa gave them tambourines and they both love to play.  



Check out this video of Benjamin playing the tambourine with his Papa:
