I knew if we didn't go yesterday we would likely have to wait another 4-6 weeks to reschedule as our surgeon is booked so far in advance. If we had to wait that would mean at least 1, if not 2, more ear infection for baby Jack. Jack had an awesome week at daycare and at home and I didn't want to set him back with another infection. Thankfully it all worked out and he has his tubes!
We had planned on dropping Madelyn off at daycare on our way but daycare was delayed in opening until 8:30 due to the weather. That was fine as we ended up taking Madelyn with us. She did great, which I knew she would. She got a sticker, freezing pop and lots of love from the nursing staff!
Jack did great considering he couldn't eat or drink in the morning. Usually Jack guzzles a cup of water first thing but he ended up sleeping most of the way to the surgery center.
The surgeon said there was lots of think fluid in Jack's ears so yet another reassurance that we were doing the right thing. Jack was more fussy coming out of surgery/anesthesia compared to Madelyn. Madelyn just woke up and was quieter but Jack was crying and screaming…..almost inconsolable at times. The nurses said that was completely normal. After he woke up, had some food, a glass of water and a nap on the way home, he was back to his happy self! In fact Jack was talking so much yesterday - felt like his tubes worked instantly and he could hear himself! I hope the tubes work as well for Jack as they have for Madelyn!!
