You can't feel that?

Before we left to go to Maryland both Gavin and Megan had a nasty cold. Being the good mommy that I am I immediately took them to the dr. to make sure that it wasn't anything more serious or contagious! While at the dr. it was discovered that Gavin's tubes that were supposed to last 2 years were gone! Well one was gone and she didn't know about the other one cause all she could see was a ball of what looked like wax and blood. Yummy I know! The dr. asked Gavin..."doesn't your ear hurt buddy?" His reply.. "Nope"

When we got back, we went to the ENT to have it checked and assumed we would schedule a time to put another set in. Needless to say... that wasn't what we heard at all! The doctor was right... one of the tubes was gone but the other ear was attacking the tube left in there by building reactive tissue. You couldn't feel that Gavin??!!  Long story short...

Emergency surgery was scheduled to remove the tube and tissue and patch his eardrum and we left with a crying baby who wanted lunch, a crying 4 year old cause he didn't want to go to the hospital, and a crying mommy cause she now had to figure out where to get $1000 by next week!! Aye Aye Aye!
