Ear Infections

So today it became official Taygen is getting tubes put in his ears. We are pretty happy with this decision since he has been fighting the same ear infection for the past 3 months and with 3 rounds of antibiotics and no healing in sight. As you might have guessed this ailment does not help his mood. Poor guy wants to be comforted all the time and on top of his usual passionate personality comes the pain of having your ears hurt. We are hoping this also helps with his lack of vocabulary since they say he basically can only hear you as if you were talking under water. They told me it takes only 6 minutes for them to put the tubes in and they don't use an IV or anything to put him to sleep they use a mask with special gas. So although anything that requires you to go to the hospital makes me a little nervous I am happy that he will be getting some relief.

Poor little guy! Hopefully this helps, my sister had them, and I know Jayce Pike did too, and they helped a ton! We thought we might end up doing it for Carter but the ear aches stopped being so frequent so for now he's in the clear. Hope it all goes well...when's it scheduled for?
