Hey guys! After a VERY long morning that started at 4:30, we got home (well back to Tim's parents house) around 9:30 this morning. He was the smallest guy they had so he was the first one on the books this morning for surgery. Unfortunately there was a large accident on I-44 this morning so we had to wait while there was triage in the OR.
Dr. McDonald was awesome. I am so blessed to have a physician like this available to us, my sister is a true Godsend. Everett was VERY upset, VERY, VERY upset. He SCREAMED like mad for 30 minutes in recovery, I have never seen this child scream like this. I was quite terrified. He has been crying on and off very sporadically all day, usually when he burps or moves too quickly. We have a really “cool” set of plugs for him to wear whenever he’s in the water (tub, pool, shower, etc) so that water doesn’t get back into the ears through the tubes.
The doctor said that he was able to clean his ears out and they were extremely full, both of them (no surprise). He also said that he should be hearing much better with the tubes in and should be hearing very well now. Apparently having an ear infection with as much puss in there as he had is like having cotton balls in your ears continuously, and for him it was both ears. So, that being said, tubes are in and all should be better by later in the weekend!
Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes and text messages
. Hopefully he should be back to our normal sweet boy sometime next week!!!
