TUBES

On August 25th, at the ripe old age of 13 weeks, baby Pearson got tubes put in his ears!

At his 2 week appointment he had a double ear infection. We treated it with 10 days of antibiotic. When we went for his 6 week appointment he had another double ear infection. We treated it for 10 days with another antibiotic. Five days after we finished that antibiotic he began having trouble going to sleep (which hadn't been a problem before). I ended up taking him back to the Dr. only to find out that the ear infection had not gone away. They gave him a rocefen shot and put him on clindimycin, which is the strongest antibiotic they could give him. The Dr. said the next step would be IV antibiotics or tubes. I made an appointment with the ENT and the youngest he had put tubes in was a 12 weeker. Pearson meant the qualifications and was healthy so we scheduled tubes for the following Tuesday. All is well and I'm happy to say he has been ear infection free since then!!!!!!


I was really nervous and totally forgot to get a picture of him his little hospital gown (that he had an allergic reaction to!).
