Ear Tubes

C finally got his ear tubes on 4/23.  Last time we were scheduled, he got pneumonia and we had to cancel.  This time, he got a cold about 3 days after ear tubes.  Last night was particularly stressful on a respiratory level.  We used his inhaler frequently to help get his respirations back under control.  He's doing better today, but did spike a fever at the end of his school day.

Hopefully these ear tubes usher in a new antibiotic free era.  Before tubes, we were having an ear infection on average once every 4-6 weeks.  Sometimes more frequently.  We're looking forward to a few less doctor's visits (though we do love our docs :)  ).
