Tubes

Landon has had, I think, 5 or 6 ear infections in the last 3 months. I have lost count, and I have been concerned about all the antibiotics he has been on. I discussed with his Pediatrician about getting tubes put in his ears and Dr. Church thought it would be a good idea. He referred us to a great ENT Doctor and last Wednesday he had the ear tubes placed.
Landon was so brave. We played in the waiting room, met the anesthesiologist, and said hi to his doctor and then they took him down the hall for a little nap.


The surgery went well. His ears weren't as yucky as Ethan's but I think we did them sooner than his brother. He was not happy in the recovery area so I just held him, snuggled with his blankie, and sang songs. By the time our mandatory half an hour rolled around we were both ready to get home.


By the afternoon he was back to his normal self. Playing catch with a ball, and eating snacks on the recliner. He was so brave and I am so grateful to the wonderful Doctors in our area.

Hooray for healthy babies! I'm so glad it went well and that he recovered so quickly. He is so cute in those flannel jammies. :)

Wet, sloppy ground require rubber boots or snake boots (if you hunt in the south). true religion jeans These are the tallest boots you'll find. Be sure your ankles fit snugly, so the boots won't pull off in the mud; and you'll want side cinches or buckles at the top to eliminate a noisy, sloppy fit when you walk--and to help seal out moisture. A removable foot bed is a plus, babyliss pro hair dryer as rubber boots become damp and don't dry out easily overnight unless you use boot dryers. Be sure to check the outer sole for cleats or lugs--a necessity for good traction in the mud.
