We're home from the hospital!

Man, that sucked. It would've been fine with one, but it took foreverrrrrr. They gave Linus the "happy juice" (a sedative) first, then took him to surgery, then gave Oliver his sedative, then Linus came out of surgery, then they brought Oliver in, then they gave Miles his sedative, then Linus went back to their room, then Oliver went to recovery, then Miles went in, then Oliver went up to the room, and then Miles came out of surgery, recovered, and went back to the room.

Seven hours total, which I guess isn't so bad, but man...it's been a long day already. But I'm hopeful that it'll keep them from getting sick so much and help their hearing. (Their was v thick fluid behind their eardrums.)

Re: We're home from the hospital!

  • Aren't you glad that's done?!

    So this is supposed to help the ear infections? When did they start getting them??

  • Glad you're back. Sounds like a draining day. Hopes the boys recover well and quickly!

  • My head was spinning just reading about the 7 hours at the hospital!  Geez, you must be exhausted!  Best of luck with their recovery!
  • I missed the post where you said what they were getting surgery for - did they get tubes?  My first DS had tubes at 17 months and although it sucked, it was the BEST thing.  He's been ear infection free since.  My pedi said if the boys get one more ear infection, she'll be sending us to the ENT, which likely means tubes as well.  Glad you're all home, now hopefully they won't get sick so much!

    I am glad it's done, very glad! And yes, it should help with their EIs. They've basically had one (in one ear or both) since August or September. ugh!

    They also got their adenoids removed. Supposed to also help keep away sickies.

    I had this done when I was 5. I had my adenoids removed and the tubes put in. I haven't had an ear problem since and I'm 24 now. The tubes fell out on their own. It was the best thing in the world for me.

  • glad it's done and they are all OK!  Now you need a drink :)
  • Sounds like a very long day, but I'm glad it went well.  I hope they recover quickly and have no more EI's!! 
  • Whew - what a day!  I think mommy deserves a drink!  Hopefully this does the trick and the boys stay healthy!  I hope they aren't too fussy tonight, too.

  • glad everyone is doing well and you are home.
  • Oy.. merry new year hey?Glad it all went well!

    Mine are all sick. Puking.. sniffing.. coughing.. you name it! Gotta love it!

  • My nephew had ear tubes put in several months ago and hasn't had ONE ear infection since then.  Interestingly, he also sleeps much better and is talking more!  All impacts from fluid in the ears, we think.
