This past year was filled with many things, but one of the things that happened the most was ear infections. Poor Carson had 9 ear infections last year! We finally went to an ENT and set up a surgery date for January 13th. That morning we woke Carson up before 6am and headed to the surgery center. Carson was so confused as to why he was being woken up so early and taken somewhere in the freezing cold early morning. Luckily, Carson was second in line because there was only one child younger than him. It really was a super quick process! They took us back to get him all prepped for the surgery and they stuck this lovely little sticky temperature thingy on his head. We played with his puppy and read a few books while we waited and then the nurse came and took him away. I was so grateful that he went to the nurse so easily and didn't scream or I think I would've lost it. We went and sat in the waiting room for about 5 minutes and then we met with the doctor and he said the surgery went great. Now that was fast! About 5 minutes later they brought Carson out to us. He was so groggy and still coming out of the anesthesia. It took him a few minutes to calm down once he really was awake, but then he was pretty happy and enjoying having something to eat. I'm so glad that everything went well and that we got tubes for him. Hopefully this will be the last time we have to deal with anything ear infection related for Carson!

What a tough little guy! I hope it really helps.
What a trooper. I can't believe he didn't scream when the nurse took him away! You must have him trained well.
I hope it helps! We've only been through one major ear infection and it was awful so I really admire you stalwart parents that have kids with multiple ear infections (I'm hoping we don't have any more)!
Glad the surgery went well and was quick. Not a fun thing for baby for mom & dad!! Sorry you had to go through that.
