Round 2!

So a few weeks ago, I was holding Carson and noticed that his ear was draining blood and puss! So I took him into his ENT and he put him on an anti-biotic for an ear infection. The day after he finished the anti-biotic, I noticed the other ear started draining blood and puss! So I took him back in and the Dr. noticed that one of his tubes had come out. He gave me some drops to use but Carson continued to seem in pain. So today I took him back in and we learned that the one ear that was missing the tube had completely healed shut which normally would be a good thing, except it trapped fluid behind the eardrum!! Then he looked in the "good" ear and it wasn't doing so good!! So they had to strap Carson down to a board, clean out the "good" ear and remove the tube because the infection was so bad! Then he told me Carson has to have another surgery next week to put in new tubes and to remove his adenoids! My poor baby!!!! All I can say is he has been such a trooper!! He is pleasant and a fantastic sleeper even with all he is going through!!

Lets just hope for our sake (and his) that the 2nd times the charm!!!

Oh man, that is so sad. I was like that as a baby. I had ear infection after ear infection. I ended up having tubes twice and the second time seemed to be the charm and I stopped having them as much. Hope all goes well with Carson!!!
