most of you know that jake has been having consistent ear infections since march. our pediatrician decided to send us to the ENT. we went for the consultation appointment last thursday. dr. smith, our ENT, agreed that tubes would be the best route for us to take. so now i just had to wait on the phone calls to get the surgery (scary word when it's your baby!!!) set up. i finally received a phone call yesterday from one of the nurses. she just needed the basic information and a few other things so that i wouldn't have to do all that when we go on monday. i asked her what time we needed to come. she said another nurse would call with that information. so this morning the nurse called with the time for his surgery. we will have to be there at 6:30am (tentatively...it could change) and surgery at 8:00am. wow....that will be a really early morning for mommy and grandma!!! she also gave me a lot of rules to follow. we have to bathe him the night before in dial soap and can't put any lotion on him. now, those of you who know jake....he's got eczema....so this might be a little (HUGE) problem. but i understand this particular soap will keep the infection chances down, so i'm gonna do it, but not willingly. perhaps there's a hypoallergenic dial soap or something. another rule is no food or drink after 12 which will not be a problem. but the not eating breakfast when he first wakes up might be. he can bring his blanket, paci, and favorite sippy cup. needless to say, this is going to be a really big deal for me!!! i'm worried and very nervous, but i know there is relief in sight for my sweet little boy. please keep us in your prayers!!
