Sick again and ear tubes (18 1/2 months)

Since the last post a couple weeks ago, we have been to the ENT specialist and Christopher has gotten sick yet again.  The ENT visit went as expected.  She recommended that he have tubes put in so his ears will drain properly and to improve his hearing.  He showed mild hearing "loss" because of fluid that was still on his ears.  So we are scheduled for Tuesday, June 19th for surgery to put in the tubes.  I'm pretty nervous because it is surgery, however I've heard so many positive stories from friends that I'm positive we are making the right decision.  Hopefully all goes well.

He started coughing and having a runny nose and low grade fever over the weekend and today Reuben found him in bed covered in throw up.  I guess he got sick sometime overnight.  So I took him in and he's got a cold that looks like an ear infection is imminent.  She gave us some antibiotics to get him through until the surgery, then hopefully we won't have such a hard time with these simple little colds!


We have Audrey on Monday nights and Tuesdays since she's in summer dance classes.  It was fun to have her back for a day!  She cried the whole way back to her dad's house though :-(  She's having a hard time adjusting to the summer at daddy's.  Hopefully it will get better.  But today she texted me like a 100 times and sent lots of videos and pictures.  It's hard to see her so sad and upset.  She is doing really well in her dance technique classes though.
