Tubes on Thursday

by Steph at 07:09PM

We went for the pre-op with Dr. McDonald today.  Alyssa worked some SERIOUS magic and got Everett in with an ENT up at St. Johns and somehow scheduled for a surgery in a week!  Dr. McDonald was amazing, I was so happy to finally see a competent doctor that knew what he was doing.

He looked at his ears and sure enough they were still infected and the second ear had finally ruptured.  They are full of puss and all sorts of nastiness.   Amazing, considering he has been on 5 different rounds of 10 day antibiotics, an antibiotic shot, and antibiotic drops! 

He will be cleaning them out, irrigating and putting tubes in both ears on Thursday morning.  We have to be at St. Johns at 5:30 in the morning, meaning… we will be leaving the farm at 4:45!!  It’s going to be a long day!

I am so thankful to have wonderful family that can do these sorts of things for us.  There is no way we could have made it until the 16th for the other procedure.  He is totally miserable.  Please keep him in your prayers as our main concern is putting a 6 month old under for a procedure like this, neither one of us want to do it, but we don’t have many options left. 

I will keep you posted!
