Tubes (Update)

Trying out a cupcake on Elle's 1st Birthday

Archer goes in super early Friday to get tubes in his ears. We saw the pediatric ENT a couple of weeks ago, and this seems to be the best option.

The surgery is apparently (thankfully) only about 6 minutes long.

I'm praying that this stops his ear infections completely!
Updated: Archer's surgery went very well--seriously 6 minutes long! He was cranky waking up, and that lasted for a couple of hours. After eating breakfast and a 3 hour nap he woke up in a great mood. Thanks to Myra for the tip about warming the drops (because no one told me), and he didn't mind the drops too much.

Praying it goes super smoothly. We did this with Morgandy when she was 14 months. It was pretty painless except that no one told us to warm the anti-biotic ear drops they prescribed for after the surgery. We had to learn that the hard way. I'm still bitter with the pharmacist for letting that tid-bit of info slip.

How did his surgery go? Landry had it done last Dec 28th (they took her adnoids out, too) and she's been problem free since!

I'm wondering if this isn't in Silas's future. So glad your guy did so well! Must be a trooper. :)
