I am sorry for being a bad blogger but Max got tubes in his ears. I did not get much sleep Tuesday night because Max got up ay 4:45 am (oh please ) and then Wednesday night was rough as well. So blogging got put on the back burner. Max was not allowed solids or formula past 11 pm, so I woke him at 10:45 pm for a bottle. He drank it half asleep. Then at 4:30 am I woke him for some apple juice and he drank that and then went back to sleep until 5:40 when I woke him so we could get in the car and drive to Children’s Hospital in Voorhees, New Jersey, one of the satellite offices. Let me first say that CHOP is amazing and we did have great nurses except for the final nurse, who had the personality of somebody doing cocaine for 3 days with no sleep. Yeah GO FIGURE! She was nutty but I was not really worried about her. I just wanted her to get out of our face. She was making me feel like I had anxiety. Regardless, after tears on Wednesday night, and tears in the bathroom praying to GOD and everything else in the world holy or unholy, I was strong for my kid. Max was great and he was full of giggles after they dosed him with some drugs. I asked if they give that drug for take home use as well. The nurse laughed and said she wanted it too for her kids. LOL. Seriously, of course I would not but it is always fun to dream about a kid that giggles and sits still. The procedure was only 6 minutes start to finish and so we will just see how his ears are moving forward. No matter what-Max has allergies and he will have them forever. He will still be the kid who cannot eat dairy or soy and has an intolerance to wheat It is ok because my hubby and I are the same way. Why would my kid be any different? Of course I get upset sometimes that he cannot just eat anything but he gets outer ear infections, just like swimmers ear and the outer gets aggravated by allergies and water. So for now, the kid of a competitive swimmer from ages 5 to 16, will just have to stay head above the water and no showers for a while. Crazy thing is that he was fine yesterday and this morning he feel and busted his lip and blood fell down his face. GO FIGURE!! Thank goodness for popsicles that helped the swelling and now you cannot even see the cut in his mouth. Good to be back. Have you ever had to go through your kid being put under for a procedure?
