Update on Sam…

I know this wasn't posted prominently on the blog, but Sam went in yesterday to get new tubes put in his ears and get his adenoids removed.  Sam had a check-up last week for his ears and the doctor noted that one of his ears still had fluid in it, where the tube had fallen out earlier this year.  The other ear we learned had the the tube just about falling out.  Further discussion led to the decision to have his adenoids removed, because there was a strong to adenoids and fluid in the ear.

 The quick turn around was due to conflict of schedules by the ENT doctor who performs these surgeries.  It was either a week later (yesterday) or almost a month and half.  We didn't want to put this off due to the chance of another ear infection and that causing a further delay.  So Sam went in around 8am for his surgery and was home by 11am.  He was pretty groggy most of the afternoon, but perked up after dinner.  I spent the morning home with the boys because Sam wasn't supposed to go to school or daycare the day after surgery.  Hopefully this will put an end to Sam's ear problems.
