My baby boy, Pax, had two surgeries last week. He had a bilateral myringotomy (ear tube placement) and an inguinal hernia/hydrocele repair. Both surgeons were willing to do the surgeries at the same time. You think I would not have been nervous in comparison to when my daughter has had major surgeries, such as a craniotomy/tumor resection, or spinal rod placement, but it still made me anxious to think about my baby undergoing anesthesia. He did amazing and is back to his wild self, other than the occasional fussy moments which we treat with Tylenol in case he has post op pain. The biggest changes we have seen so far is that he doesn’t scream or fuss when lying flat for diaper changes, or wake up crying in pain from his sleep. I think his ears were really hurting him when he was laying flat, but now he finally has some relief! Do you have a child or know anyone who has had ear tubes placed and witnessed any immediate results?? Comment below and check out our video from Surgery Day!!
