Tubes for #3

After many, many ear infections over the past 12 months, Jace is now child #3 with tubes in his ears. Jade and Jory both had tubes put in as toddlers and Jace was no exception.

So, we were told to be at the surgery center at 8:15 AM for surgery at 9:00. The nurse told me that he could have nothing to eat or drink after midnight..."Ah, What?" was my response! Is that going to be a problem? she responded. Well, yes...we are dealing with a 14 month old who LOVES his bottle and his milk in the middle of the night! (Yes, you read this right...he still gets his bottle at night...sorry!) So, the nurse compromised with me and said he can have milk up to 2:30 and water from that point on until 6:00 AM...still a hard feat but we got it done!!

Even though I had been through this 2 times and knew he was in good hands it was still hard to let good, qualified nurses take your little baby out of your arms and walk down the hall to an operating room...ugh! I don't know how people do it when you have kids with cancer or terminal diseases...my heart breaks for them!!

Glad it's over with and fingers crossed...we don't have another ear infection...but it has been known to happen...
