I really need to do a post on Christmas and Carson's birthday but right now I'm lucky to keep up with the present. Maybe we will just have to have Christmas in July!
Anyway, on Monday I took Carson into the ENT for his 6 month checkup after his tubes/tonsilectomy and things looks great! The doctor was impressed that he hasn't had any ear infections since and everything looked good. He was really excited to ride on the chair up and down. He seemed like a pro at the whole doctor thing. Poor kid!
Camy went in too because back in August she started acting like she had an ear infection. (My pediatrician asked me how I knew and I just told her with how many Carson has had, we just know.) Well, I took her in the beginning of September and they put her on antibiotics and wanted us to come back in a month to make sure everything cleared up. October we took her in, more antibiotics. November, more antibiotics. December, more antibiotics. They just couldn't get rid of the infections. In January I took her in and my doctor wasn't there but the other one saw her and gave her the antibiotic shot and I had to bring her in 3 times that week so she could have more shots and they didn't help whatsoever. One of her eardrums burst at this point so I was refered to the ENT again.
Well, after Carson hopped down from the chair Camy immediately climbed up there and was ready. She is she little that the doctor was pretty impressed that she just sat there. She acted like a pro too. They scheduled an appointment for tubes and I guess I am going to have another kid go through that. At least it's only tubes and not tonsils at such a young age. It will only take a few minutes to do and it's something that they do everyday but it's still a little scary. I hated seeing Carson knocked out and now I will see Camy that way too. I hate seeing her in pain though and anytime she hurts herself I ask if she has an "owie" and she points to her ears. It's pretty sad that she has been in pain so long but hopefully this will help and she will feel better. March 3rd is the day and we will be home that evening so it's really not a big deal, I'm just a worried mommy as usual. At least it's nothing big.
8 is great! Happy birthday Cole!

I'm so sorry for your babies! Not a fun thing to see them hurting. We've been very lucky to only have to deal with asthma, eczema and lactose intollerance all from Scott. Kati's pretty healthy. I hope they're feeling better for you soon. And I hope your pregnancy is going better than normal!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like they take after their cousin/uncle Derek. I had my tonsils out at 3 and tubes in my ears as well.
ReplyDeleteIt must have been traumatic because that is about my earliest memory. Funny thing is, I don't remember it as being traumatic. One advantage of having it done so early is that they won't remember too much about it.
