Ear Tubes and Adenoids

Seth has fought ear infections all of his short life. He had tubes for a few years which is good for one set of tubes. We were trying really hard to not have to get tubes again, by trying I mean crossing my fingers. Every time we went to the ENT she would say, "They look good but not great, let's see him in 3 months." The copay starts to add up after doing that for a couple of years. Then in September he had an ear infection the WHOLE month. He was on three antibiotics that didn't seem to touch it. So today he got his second set of tubes and his adenoids out. His Dr. said his adenoids were infected which made her think they might have been the source of his many ear infections. Also, he had a sinus infection and his ear drum was about to burst it was so infected. For some reason my first reaction was, "Good." I feel like the surgery was definitely necessary and now he should have all that yucky stuff out and be able to hear and be pain free. He's recovered really fast, right now he's playing away with Max and his friend. I told him he could take the day off school today and tomorrow which thrilled him.
