Ear Tubes

After six ear infections, or maybe one ear infection that never went away, and six rounds of antibiotics later, Little "K" received ear ventilation tubes last week.  The process to get to this point was about four months, and Mr. Fixit and I are both hoping this is the ticket to a happier and healthier baby!

The surgical appointments for these little guys are early.  We headed in for our 7:15 a.m. appointment, and were on the road home by 9:00 a.m.  The doctors and nurses used a anesthesia to put the little guy to sleep, for about a 10 minute procedure.  Then we waited for Little "K" to wake up, and take a few drinks of water before we were cleared to go home.

Everything seemed to go smoothly, and after "K" had a round of hiccups later that morning, I really began to wonder.  Hiccups seem to be very painful after ear surgery.  This photo shows a little flashback to birthday times, because I did not want to photo a very cranky camper!
