Surgery Again?


Okay so it sounds scarier then it is but Troy had tubes put in his ears on Friday April 30th. This was after a series of four ear infections, one of which he ear drum ruptured. We were in the Doctor's office about every two weeks trying out a different antibiotic. It was a tough choice to make but we felt like this was the right one! Troy is up to 24 pounds now, please slow down a bit Troy we're going through clothes too fast! With this surgery they did put him under using gas and gave him a medicine to help relax him (it worked so well!). He definitely work up much more mad this time but other then that not too bad! I also wish I had my nurse from last time I saw her there but she wasn't my nurse this time! It can make such a big difference! Troy is such a sweetie! He is such a good sleeper, he's good for two naps a day and pretty much always sleeps through the night. If he does wake up he quickly drinks a bottle and goes back to sleep. He's pretty excited about crawling and cruising although it get him into trouble a lot. It keeps him pretty entertained. He keeps getting bruises all over his forehead from so many spills but he is getting better at falling in less painful ways. Josh and I are making bets on when he might start walking. He thinks a little sooner and I'm thinking later! It might be in my head but I feel like this surgery has been an improvement to him because he has been crazy vocal the last few days. Mostly saying da-da-da, which of course Josh just loves! Hopefully these tubes help a lot and we see tons of improvement! Before....

One of my favorite nurses!!

Oops, you weren't suppose to see that, Cover up Troy!

Troy all drugged up. I kind of got a kick out of this because I could tell he was so loopy! He was laughing at everything and just spacing out.
Right after surgery.
Going home, Yeah!
Hailey played with Grandma Hakes. She just got back from Hawaii so Hailey had to try her gift on! Thanks for helping us out!

  2. Glad Troy's getting his ears fixed. It can't be fun having so many ear infections. Hope he's doing well now.
