Tubes and Adenoid's removed

Brody never really got ear infections very often but all of a sudden he was getting them all the time. He had 5 within 3 months! I finally asked his Pediatrician for a referral. I made an appointment with the ENT to have his ears looked at. The doctor was very surprised he didn't have a speech delay or impediment as his ears were filled with fluid and he didn't do very well on his hearing test. She recommended that he get tubes and his adenoids removed and I agreed. His surgery was scheduled for 7 but we needed to be there by 6:15 for pre-op. Since he was getting his adenoids removed they had to put him under anesthesia. The surgery took less than 20 minutes. Brody was NOT a happy camper when he woke up though. He was crying and saying his throat hurt so they gave him some pain medicine in his IV which made him go to sleep for about 10 minutes. When he woke up again, he was a little better but still said his throat hurt. Once we got home he laid on the couch for about an hour and then was totally fine, like nothing had ever happened. Hopefully, getting the tubes will keep the ear infections away!
