Tube Time!

Thurs., Feb. 8: Today was a big day for the NYC Shanoffs. Gabe got tubes put in his ears. We only found out it was going to happen on Monday, so we didn't have much time to get nervous. Plus, from what all the doctors told us, there wasn't much to worry about. Well, the doctors were right. From the moment we arrived at the Beth Israel Outpatient Center, it was smooth sailing. First, they gave Gabe the pajamas that the kids typically wear. As you can see from the "before" picture, they were a bit big on him. Then, the little slippers didn't fit either! Oh well. he was such a great sport about it. Then mom took him into the room and 30 minutes later he was all finished, and really ready to eat -- that's what happens when you make this guy miss his breakfast! He's healing perfectly and seems better than ever. Just look at the "after" picture.
