One more thing to check off my list...at 8 months old and 17 lbs, I had my first surgery. Today, I had tubes put in my ears to help drain fluid. For the past 2 months I've been on several antibiotics and have had shots to try and clear up my ear infections, but nothing was doing the trick. All that fluid was starting to affect my hearing so my ear, nose and throat dr. decided that it was time to do something about it. The surgery went really fast. I didn't care too much for the anesthesia. It made me feel funny. My dr. came to talk with us after the surgery and said that we definitely weren't too aggressive with inserting the tubes at my age. He said that my ears were pitiful inside and probably would have never healed as the fluid just continued to build up. I'm so happy that all that fluid is gone and that I will feel and hear better! Hopefully, it's goodbye to those nasty ear infections!
