Ear Tubes

Poor Maddox had his first ear infection at two and a half months old on May 7th (left ear). He finished his first round of Amoxocilin and the infection turned into a double ear infection. Poor baby!
September 10th he had a bad ear infection in the right ear.
October 18th- Left ear infected again and we got a referral to the ENT. Yay!
 
October 25th we met with ENT and Maddox's hearing was tested.  Poor baby couldn't hear because of all of the fluid in his ears.  So it was decided that tubes would be the best thing for our precious baby. 
 
November 6th (Election Day) we headed down for Maddox to have ear tubes put in.
Waiting on the doctor to arrive . . .
 Checking his vitals . . .
 Waiting . . .
Playing and waiting . . .

Waiting . . .
 Time for Tylenol and Motrin.
 Off he goes . . .
Tieg was a trooper and took him back to the OR for me.  I don't think I could've handled that.
 Here he comes . . .
The procedure was super quick.
 And he was OUT on the way home.
We grabbed some breakfast and headed to the polls to vote.
