bring on Christmas... Shopping done check...
Gifts wrapped check...
The tree dry as a bone check...
(note to self- next year don't place the tree under the heat vent) Cookies baked check...
AND most importantly...
ear tubes done check.
After spending the last 7 months at the doctors office with Beckham and trying every antibiotic out there we finally gave in. Today Beckham was a brave kid and underwent surgery for tubes. He did very well and like many said...it was probably harder on momma then him. It was hard giving him away. Hearing him cry all the way down the hall. We were placed in a waiting room and before we knew it they were finished. The procedure only takes 5 minutes, but makes for one screaming child. The doctor came and got us and told us everything went well. He said the ears were "icky and reinfected". A side note- he just finished antibiotics Friday...just 4 days ago. So this was a much needed procedure. While the Dr was talking to us we could hear all the kids in the recovery room crying. We then got to see our little crying guy. He was groggy and crying/thrashing around as I was trying to comfort him. It took what seemed like forever for him to settle down (probably only 5 minutes). As soon as he was able to drink juice we were free to go home. We are proud of our little guy and very glad its behind us for the holidays. If we would have waited until after the new year we would have had yet another ear infection to deal with.
We hope everyone has a merry Christmas and happy new year!!

Glad to hear surgery went well. Those little ear tube kiddos are so cute when they come through the OR. You will have a whole new boy on your hands once he's feeling good on a regular basis. Merry Christmas to your family!
