Hi all,

Just an update to my long, long saga! I’ve had Owen to the doc 3 times since last Tue all due to reflux, ears, etc! I’ve been very upset with my doc as he has not really been sympathetic at all to the situation and has really messed a lot with Owen’s reflux meds.

A very long story short, todays visit was very productive, I don’t know what turned on the lightbulb for him, but he just said “I think it’s time for tubes”, and I thought I was going to burst into tears of joy!!!

He was on the phone and in minutes he came back and we have an appointment tomorrow with the ENT and he’s getting tubes on Thursday! I’m so excited I could shreek with joy!

There is always that risk with any procedure of course when they have to be put to sleep, but we have been sticking so many antibiotics in this child for the last 3 months and I really didn’t feel that was good for him either!

Thank you all for the moral support! I hope this clears up 1/3 of the reflux, MSPI, ear infection mess for us and we can move on!!!!

That is fantastic news!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, it is scary to have them put under but I can tell you from experience that it was SOOOOOOOOO worth it! Even making it the past month since her surgery without antibiotics and fussy baby due to ear infections has been GREAT! Not to mention how much better she obviously feels! That is awesome that you get in so soon too!!!! Good luck! Let us know how it goes!

That’s great news! It’s impressive that they are able to move so fast. When I called for an appointment for Alex, the wait for an appointment was 2 weeks and it was going to be another 5 weeks before they could do surgery. We got lucky and they had a cancellation, so she got them last week. They’ve already made a noticeable difference.

Great news!!! I hope it makes a big difference for him and for your whole family. I’m sure it is scary to have them put to sleep, but it is a common procedure, so try not to worry too much (easy for me to say)

Please keep us posted!
