Happy New Year! May this be your year!
For the last month, our peanut has completed two full courses of amoxicillin and one full course of augmentin. The amount of disgustingness coming out LJ's ears is the most in the history of ever; I feel like we've been to the doctor every week! We have had little benefit from any of these antibiotics. You see, he's lost one ear tube and the other one is dislodged but its in the wrong spot and too deep to extract in an office visit. We tried to get the procedure to extract and place two new tubes scheduled for two weeks ago. Unfortunately we didn't get medical clearance due to a respiratory infection that LJ had. So here we are, two weeks later. Poor guy is ready for a decent night's sleep and some comfortable new ear tubes.
I never thought I'd say "I'm excited for surgery!" But in this case I will be relieved tomorrow. We've got some ongoing eye issues as well, but I'll save that for another post (that will be another surgery separate from tomorrow's). I'm holding hands with fear and bravery nonetheless. The unpredictable nature of anesthesia always scares me and there's nothing worse then seeing your baby taken back to the OR. Maybe on second thought, there is something worse. Getting taken back to the recovery room when you see your baby for the first time afterward all hooked up to IV's and beeping monitors. Please send you healing, positive thoughts our way.
