ears...

merrick went in a few weeks ago to have tubes placed in his ears... i would like to say that it worked... well it seemed to have work for a few days, then he was crying about them and pulling at his ears again... we go in on wednesday again to get him checked out...

it was so sad to see him upset in the hospital... he was terrified! i tried to stay as calm as i could... kasey wanted to just take him and run! i'm glad we had it done, i just wish that merrick would feel better.

and as i type, merrick is screaming in the other room cause kasey is drawing him a tub... merrick used to love tub time... now he screams then entire time and i have to hold him in the tub and wash him with a wet towel...

so sad...

Man being a parent can suck. Lotus had to have stitches in her head a year ago & it was horrible having to hold her down. It just proves how much we love them though, right?

Dylan had the surgery 3 times ... It is a rough road - chronic ear infections ... he just got used to the pain. His speach is catching up (he is 5 now) but is in Speach Therapy at his school for an hour once a wk to help him pronounciate correctly. Good luck to your lil' guy ... hopefully once will do the trick. (I found that Dylan still pulled at his ears after the surgeries because he was accustom to it. Not necessarily because they still hurt.)
