Preston has been sick only a handful of times, and didn't start getting sick until about 10 months old which was such a blessing. His main sickness has been colds/ear infections. I hate these nasty little ear infections. They make P feel horrible, and there is nothing to do to prevent them. Earlier this week Preston was showing signs of not feeling his best so I decided to take him to the Dr to get checked out. His pediatrician told me what I expected to hear, he had another double ear infection. Poor little guy. A couple months ago I met with his Dr to discuss getting tubes in his ears. She said that if he had another ear infection we would go ahead and make arrangements to get the procedure done. When we were there this week she said that he needs to be infection free for 3 weeks before the surgery can happen so we are praying that after he finishes his meds for this one, another one wont pop up.
I realize that the procedure takes a total of 10 minutes from start to finish, but it is still so scary. I know this is what he needs to get rid of the problem, and that is what I have to remind myself every time I start getting anxious about the whole thing.
There is nothing worse than seeing your child suffer, but I am so grateful with the cards that we have been dealt so far.
