Tomorrow

If you've got a second, could you send good vibes our way?  Tomorrow morning we have to report to the surgical center at 5:45 for all three to get tubes.  we now have to report to the main hospital at 6 for them to get tubes*.  While we are so happy to finally (hopefully) get some relief from these near constant ear infections, the thought of them undergoing general anesthesia is worrisome to us, especially given how hard of a time both Noah and Addison had waking up after their eye surgery**.  Hopefully by this time tomorrow we are updating that everyone did well and that we are already back home.

*This change in venue is good.  There will be more equipment available should we need it.  But I can't lie, it makes me nervous that the anesthesiologist is concerned enough that he wanted it moved to the hospital, and not in the surgery center.  Their biggest concern right now is Noah's lungs and his love for supplemental oxygen.  But OMG I don't want an oxygen tank back in my house again!

**Yes, I know they were a lot smaller and younger then.  But, still.  Our last go around with general anesthesia involved about 30 hours back on the ventilator.  I don't want to go there again.  I can't go there again.  No, no, no.

  2. Hopefully things go well with the tubes as far as the anesthesia goes. The tubes themselves are no big deal though. However you do have to worry about keeping dirty (read: bath) water out of their ears. Might be nice to have some custom molds made, if not, then Mack's makes some wax plugs that they sell at Walgreens/Walmart that work ok. This is what I do, let me know if you have any questions that your local do hasn't answered (or you don't want to ask them).
