Surgery

This past Monday we took the plunge and decided to put tubes in Landon's ears. We have been frequent fliers to the peditrician the past 10 months and he has had 7 ear infections. We considered going to the chiroproactor but after meeting with the Ear, Nose and Throat Dr. and an audiologist we decided that this was the best option for our little guy.


We arrived at the Clinic at 7:15 A.M. and we were taken back to the pre/post operating room. Landon was a trooper (he hadn't eaten since 7:30 the night before) and got ready for surgery. The Dr. and nurse assured us that it would be really quick.


He loved to play with all of the cords that were haning around him. They wheeled him back about 8:15 and he was back to us by 8:30. He did AMAZING. He came out of the anastesia great.


He was very relaxed on the way out to the car and fell asleep on the way home. He remainded sleeping for 4 hours after we got home. When he finally woke for the day was his normal self.

Jeremy and I are so happy that we went through with the procedure. He has recovered great and he hasn't had a runny nose since Monday morning at 8:14 A.M! He has had one since he was 8 weeks old! We are so thankful for Dr. Thompson and her crew from Hear, Nose and Throat at Mayo.

So glad everything went well. We had tubes with Dominic (and wouldn't be surprised if we end up getting them still with Tyson) and they were a lifesaver. We went from ear infections every few weeks to one ear infection in the entire 18 months that he had his tubes in!! And it's awesome because it's totally obvious when they have an ear infection with the tubes and so easy to treat with the drops. I used to be anti-tubes unless absolutely necessary...now I am a huge advocate! They made life so much better for Dom...and us! Hope you see a huge difference for Landon!!
