On the road to recovery!

Our sweet little patient.

Griffin lost a long and hard fight to ear tubes! Griff has been battling ear infections for quite some time. Last summer after a bout with CHRONIC ear infections Griff was scheduled for surgery. As a last ditch effort we started bringing Griff to the chiropractor for his ears. Believe it or not his ears cleared through the summer and fall. I was feeling pretty good about Griff's ears until all of a sudden they started acting up again. Griffin went into to the Dr. for a busted eye on January 28. While he was there we asked that they take a look at his ears. Yikes~ ears were infected. He gave us no warning at all. The infection was not accompanied by cold, fever, ear tugging, NOTHING! He went through a round of antibiotics and we went on our merry way. At his 24 month check up by the grace of God his ears were clear!?! I truly thought it was a miracle! However, a week or so later he was infected again. To make a long story short an ENT appointment was scheduled and that takes us to now.

The ENT added us on to her schedule 2 days after our office visit with her. We brought him into the hospital at 6am. He was such a big boy. After the oral anesthesia to sedate him he started acting a little "drunk." This calmed him so they were able to take him away to surgery. While in surgery they put a mask on him to keep him sedated. The procedure took less than 15 minutes. They came to get us to meet him in recovery. He was a little disoriented and fussy. He was released from the hospital and we were heading home by 8am. Pretty crazy eigh?!? Apparently the anesthesia upset his stomach because he threw up in the car.

Once home he laid on the couch with a pillow and blanket and watched his favorite friends, The Wiggles. Trust me when I say that this is a FIRST! I went on to work and he hung out with MiMi and Big Pop. By lunch time he was back to normal. After a hearty lunch he settled in for a 4 1/2 hour nap. Today he was back in day care. You can tell that he feels better and we also believe that he is hearing so much better.

Thank you God for taking such good care of our baby....
