Our Second Home...

has become the doctor's office...with an ear infection...that never goes away :( My poor poor baby, he hasn't been as fussy and miserable as usual but it's definitely affected his sleeping. I don't think either one of us has slept all week. He's been on antibiotics for about 6 weeks now and since they aren't helping, he is now getting a shot 3 days in a row that is really thick and painful :( Our next step is tubes. I AM SCARED TO DEATH. I know that it's a simple procedure with a super fast recovery...but they are going to sedate my 10 month old baby...I don't know if I can let him go behind closed doors with strangers...I know he will be fine and I will be more upset than him but it's just scary. I've heard a lot of good things about the ENT doctors in our area. We have a consult scheduled for Wednesday, December 22, 2010 in Madisonville with Dr. Logan. While I'm scared to death, I can't wait for him to get this done to hopefully cease all of these ear infections. I think he would probably be a walking pro by now if he had better balance which may be a side effect of fluid on the ears. Anyway...I'm praying that all goes well and it's super fast procedure with a speedy recovery for my baby. I'm hoping these shots work well and he's ear infection free until we can get the tubes in.

ON A HAPPY NOTE...we have our first family Christmas function this Saturday!! Jaxson will get to open his first Christmas presents and I'm sooo sooo excited!! And he will get to wear his cute Mud Pie Santa romper I bought him :)
