Surgery

Tyler's ear tube surgery went well on Wednesday. He screamed his little head off as he was coming out of the anesthesia, but once he settled down, it was just amatter of time until he was back to his normal self. We spent the rest of the day at home. I started having flu-like symptoms that afternoon and our house has been under quarantine ever since then. I tested negative for the flu but we all still started on tamiflu. Tyler has developed a respiratory illness and has been wheezing quite a bit. Hopefully he'll get over this quickly. We're all starting to get a bit of cabin fever!

Ear Tubes

After numerous ear infections, Tyler saw Dr. Dawson this week and he thinks we should proceed with tubes. We're scheduled for surgery next Wednesday at Womens and Childrens. He'll have to be admitted and possibly stay overnight due to his heart condition. We're hoping he doesn't have to stay so that we can avoid the illnesses on the pediatric floor. All of his cardiologists are on board with the surgery so hopefully it goes well with no problems. And hopefully this will reduce the number of antibiotics he's on and his sleep problems.
