Eth got surgery

Ethan got tubes put in his ears on Tuesday. He has had 8 ear infections in the last year! So finally my doctor sent him to a specialist and she said tubes were the way to go, we went on a Friday to the ear doctor for his first appointment and he had just barley finished his meds for an ear infection on Monday and she said his ears were still all red and full of fluid my poor boy and his ears would just never get better! So we scheduled an appointment for tubes.

We got them done at American Fork Hospital, we got there at 8:45. A sweet lady came in with a basket of toys and bubbles for him to play with while he got his blood pressure checked and whatnot it actually helped alot usually he freaks out and kicks and screams but this time he was totally pre-occupied by the toys which was nice! The nurse came in and took him back to the operating room it was sad he was saying mommy, mommy but then the other doctor just asked him about his bear, which they let him take back with him and he stopped and was fine so that made me feel better!


We signed some more paperwork then all the sudden the nurses walk in with my boy it was way fast before I really even knew he was gone he was back in my arms! The nurses loved him they said he was the favortie of the day. When he woke up he asked for mommy and daddy then he wanted to see the big trucks outside, haha he is all boy! We sat for a minute and rested then we were on our way home by 11:30. We came home and he took a good long nap and woke up as happy as could be! Hopefully he won't get any more infections and he will be my happy cute boy!

I hope his tubes help him as much as Quinsie's helped her. the best part is when they do have an ear infection (which is rare) their ears drain, so you know, and you don't have to guess anymore. Seriously, yay for tubes! Glad he did so good!
