Same Day Surgery

McCoy is getting tubes put in his ears this morning. Doesn't he look cute in his little hospital gown?
He has to have tubes because he has had 7 ear infections in his short lifetime. I think he might even have a current one. He just finished meds for one 2 weeks ago and he has been pulling at his ears still. Poor buddy! But they say he should feel better almost instantly.


His surgery went well. The Dr. said that his right ear just had a little bit of water in it. Not a big deal. But his left ear was so compacted with snotty guck that they had to suction it out using alot of force. Good News is he is clean now and everything went really well.
When they brought him to us he wasn't crying or anything. My sister-in-law had warned us that the worst was after the surgery. But not for Coy. The hardest part was the nurse taking him out of Brett's arms and Coy just screaming and longing to be back with us.
He hasn't had any problems all day and now his snug in his bed fast asleep. Sweet Coy!

Hi, this is Shelly Pehrson (Nelson). I went to school and grew up with Brett. I came across your blog. It is great!

I love ear tubes...they work instantly and help the kids so much. I have 3 kids (out of 6) that have had tubes...one done at 10 months, and both my twins had them done at 10 months and 14 months. My older daughter had to have the done twice since she got them done the first time at such a young age. Hopefully they are as wonderful for McCoy as they have been for us.
