Knox's Tubes...

So dang cute in his hospital gown and pants...

Knox got tubes put in his ears today. We have been battling ear infections now for about 3 months and he has had fluid on his ears for who knows how long. So on monday he had another infection so we called the ENT and we went ahead and scheduled tubes for today. The infection was in his right ear and he has had fluid on his left for sometime and his eardrum actually ruptured yesterday and relieved that pressure, but in doing the tubes this morning the doctor said that the drainage had glued the eardrum closed again and it had already begun accumulating more fluid. So thank goodness for modern medicine :) He did great. I wasn't worried about the procedure itself, seeing as how it isn't very invasive and is very quick, but having him put under was a little nerve racking. He was a champ though, in pain when he woke up, but feeling like a normal 2 year old who could actually hear out of both ears today.

Thanks for sharing this. I've been a little nervous because Shad may have to have tubes also. His ears hurt all the time from the fluid, poor little guy. Shad being put under is also my biggest worry so thanks again for sharing Knox's experience.
