TUBES IN THE EARS

1 Week ago we went to the Ears, Nose and Throat Specialist to see about getting Tubes in Chases ears. He has had alot of ear infections and when we would go back to see if they were better they would still have fluid in them. Dr. Downs scheduled us to get his Tubes put in on April 9, 2010 at 8:00 am in Flagstaff. So when we confirmed the appointment they tell us we need to check in at 6:45 am so that means we have to leave our house 1 hour and 20 mins before that.

So we get there and are so tired and Chase is doing ok but we know that when it comes time to take off his PJ'S or Shoes that we will have a problem. He was very hard to handle for the whole time. They brought him some toys, stamps, sun glasses and even some of the nurses were trying to be funny. He kept wanting to see Darren and Mason who were in the waiting room. But we new that he doesn't really like them as much as me and so I was the won that was chosen to take him. The Dr came and said that the procedure would be about 5 min, which it was very fast. It was hard for me to have them take him from me and him screaming MOMMY. I just felt bad.

When he was done they came and got us from the waithing room and as I walked back I could hear him screaming and crying, (which everyone warned us about). When it was over they were trying to get him to drink since he had been fasting since dinner. He wouldn't so they had to try other things. Which this is what won...........

Today Chase is doing alot better, not as fussy. Next week we go to see the Dr. to check on his ears and to do a little hearing test to see if the tubes worked on his hearing because before the Dr would do a hearing test and Chase wouldn't even notice the sounds. So we will see what the future is for Chase.
