Surgery went great!

Justin's ear tube surgery went excellent today! We had to check-in by 0700 and we left the hospital by 0930; I actually think it was closer to 0915. Since I had already been through the process once (well twice if you include a replacement) with Jordan, there was nothing that was concerning this time around and it was no big deal. One mom actually was crying when she came out....eesh, I guess some just handle it differently. That's it; I just wanted to let everyone know that all went well and Mr. Justin was back up to his 'tricks' in no time.

Following in big brother's footsteps...

I took Justin to the ENT specialist today because of all his ear infections, and just like Jordan, he is getting ear tubes too. It is by the same doctor as who did Jordan's, but for the life of me I don't remember exactly how old Jordan was at the time...I'm thinking around 1 year old just like Justin, anyways the appointment is set for tax day (4/15). The whole procedure from the time you check in until the time you leave after the monitoring amounts to less then 4 hours. It is obviously an outpatient surgery and very fast...I think the surgery itself lasts only 10 minutes! Hopefully we can last the 3 weeks until then! Justin had both ears infected on Friday when I took him to his normal pediatrician; he's on ANOTHER medication, but none of them seem to be working so I guess it's do or die on the sleep for the next few weeks!!!! I'm hoping he takes hold to the ear tubes in the same way Jordan did; no more problems w/the ears until one time when one fell out and we had to get it replaced...else they fell out on their own early last year and that was it!
