Cody, Amanda, Cade, Chloe, and Cora Rose: October 2008

Cade had tube set #3 put in his ears on Tuesday. I pray this is the last time. The doc told us that some kids have to have them until they are 6 or 7....ahhh!! EXPENSIVE!! I know it is such a minor surgery, but it is always traumatic...for me. Cody is so chill it makes me sick. Or maybe he is just putting on a brave face for me. I don't know.
This was definitely the best experience yet..
The past two times we had to hand him off to the doctors before he was put to sleep and that was not fun at all. Last year, he had his adenoids out too, so he had to get a yucky IV in his arm. Cade really liked that.(NOT!) But this time Cody got to go back with him and we were back in the recovery room before he woke up, so he never knew we were gone! Thank you Lord! I think they saw that he was going to be a hard one to keep still. He was kicking and fighting while the nurse was just trying to get his temperature and heart rate.
My kids cannot stand going to the doctor. I feel like mine are the only ones that you can hear screaming from the hallway...am I alone here??
So then Wednesday I took Chloe to see the ear doctor. I wish we could've scheduled them to have tubes the same day, because we found out she will have to have them too.
She has had some chronic fluid in both ears for 5 months or so and has gotten 3 infections in the past 3 or 4 months...we see the pattern here...
So, she will have tubes put in on Oct.28th.
I am already praying against all the crazy things that start going through my crazy head.
Pray for my sweet babes and their sweet ears!
