Ashton's Ear Tubes

Poor little Ashton has had ear infections every other month since he was born. So enough was enough! We got him an appointment with the ENT and they made us go and get an audiogram first. They tested him and said that he could hear almost as well as someone under water. After meeting with the ENT he scheduled an appointment for tubes. YOO HOO! He has never been a good sleeper so I'm hoping that the tubes will help. His surgery was yesterday. The actual procedure is 10 minutes max, but of course we had to sit there for 2 hours. Supposedly they were going to keep us an hour in the recovery room but after 1o minutes of ashton screaming they let us go:) Pays to cry! Anyway everything went great and the little stinker even slept throught the night. Hopefully it stays that way for my sake! Yea for ear tubes!!!!

Poor little guy. Ryan has had two sets of tubes. I was so grateful. It makes a world of difference. Good luck with the sleeping though, Ryan still stinks at sleeping.

No fun. Poor little guy. He looks so cute in the little hospital gown. I hope that he continues to sleep through the night for you. Good luck on the house building. Keep us updated on how it goes. That is crazy about the loads of rock you guys had to haul out. Thank heavens for hard working husbands:)

You are going to love his tubes. Kendal's are great, when she gets an ear infection it is a little wierd because fluid drains from her ears. But no infection!! Hopefully they will work just as good for him!!

poor thing :( But I guess the tubes will be worth it if he can hear better, and even better sleep through the night!! He does look to cute in that little hospital gown
