It's ALWAYS something....

So this morning, Dawson had his 6 month check up from his 2nd set of ear tubes. We haven't had a SINGLE problem since we had this set put in and I was really hoping we were free and clear of ear issues. Since D has left daycare he seriously hasn't had so much as a cold. This is from the boy who literally had an ear infection weekly, always a cold, and pneumonia just last winter. The pneumonia was the deciding factor in me staying home. I couldn't allow my child to be that sick all the time. Let's not even talk about the terrifying febrile seizure we had from an ear infection last winter as well. So anyway, since he's been out of daycare and with these 2nd tubes we've been great. So today I expected to hear the all clear. Wrong.

The tube in the left ear has come out of place and has fallen behind the ear drum, which means ANOTHER surgery to remove it from that location because that's obviously not a good place for it to be. I know it's a simple surgery and won't take 5 minutes. That's not the point. The point is that my baby has to endure yet another heart breaking moment when they take him from my arms to go the operating room, be put to sleep again, and then wake up in a strange place with strange people. It just makes me sad to think about it. PLEASE let this be the last time.
