Anna you are soo right about the baby girl, we were definitely blessed. Actually, the Soldier's hearing is fine while the Cookie Queen's was impacted about 10%. That's ok, she's also the one I nursed for 14 months and she has allergies out the wazoo, including food allergies. Sometimes no matter what you do, it won't be enough...

Oooohhh sad! He looks so buzzed and fuzzy. But I'm glad that it's a procedure that works. My kiddo has never had ear infection, which always surprises me when I think about it, because I had a zillion of them growing up. But my kiddo's severely allergic to peanuts. So maybe that's the trade off! LOL. Amber Warren´s last blog post..The First Time I Got Dumped (and the Rules of Dealing with it)

We have been really lucky with ear infections; my daughter had one as a baby, and my son has never had one. I'd get the tubes in a heartbeat if either of them had THAT many though. Kerry´s last blog post..How to Get Noticed in a Sea of Candidates

@Becca, UGH! 14 ear infections? So basically, you were constantly dealing with them. You must have run out of antibiotics as well. That is so sad. Your daughter is lucky that you had that experience and knew what to do! My husband had to have 5 operations as a kid, and I’m not sure how many ear infections happened before those. His hearing is a little tiny bit impacted now by it–I’m hoping that we’ve been on top of Mini’s infections enough to avoid any permanent hearing damage for him. So far it looks good, but we have to have some tests done soon to double check.

My son had 14 ear infections in 12 months before the ENT in Bumfuzzle Georgia decided it would be ok to do the tubes. In contrast my youngest daughter had 4 ear infections in a year and the ENT at Chilren’s Hospital in St.Louis. I loved the care that the baby received there and her tubes held up longer than the boy’s. I am willing to do almost anything to get rid of them, ear infections are one of the top five in my list of most painful illnesses.

Glad to hear Mini came out of it alright, and you’re right stoned babies (only during pre-op, people please) are funnier than anything I’ve seen in a long time!

So glad the procedure went well. Now off to see if I can find an underground supplier of cherry flavored morphine. You know, to help the kids sleep at night. blissfully caffeinated´s last blog post..Children caught riding turtle: “Mommy told us to,” the suspects allege.

lol@becky … tell me more about these lollipops of which you speak.

@Juliet, yeah I knew Eva had at least one surgery. Uggh. Mini was sticking his tongue out at a mirror and moving it around and laughing yesterday. I have to say that last year’s drunkenness was funnier, but it’s still classic every time.

Where do I find these morphine lollipops? Glad everything went well. Stressful! becky´s last blog post..How Jon Bon Jovi Spends One Hundred Percent of His Time

Glad he is okay! I think you know Eva had to have bladder-kidney surgery at age three and it can be a scary time. Anytime they do anything with anesthesiology, it's like you can't relax until they are up and moving around again. LOL @ "happy juice." Eva periodically had to have these procedures where she had to be awake so they'd give her Versed, and it's like seeing your three year old drunk off her ass, giggling, trying to pluck imaginary bubbles out of the air, etc. You half expect them to start singing karaoke then get weepy and sentimental. By the way there are morphine lollipops too. Funny idea but spend two seconds in a children's hospital and you will thank god there are compassionate and creative people out there inventing this stuff.
