Dr. K finally said it's time to go talk to an ENT!
Dr. Jakob was reccomended by Dr. K and she is Amazing!! She is an Aggie so of course she is going to be great! :) I have talked to many people that have her and they love her just as much as we do! She looked at Colton and knew his history with ear infections and said he needs tubes! She looked in his throat and asked if he snores. I told her he does at times and breathes very heavy at night. She said she was going to take his adenoids out too which will help with that and also help with sinus problems! I did find out at the appointment that ear infections and needing tubes actually run in the family. I had no idea!!! Poor little guy got this from me, not Cody. I feel so bad, but I am so thanful for this surgery!
The morning of the surgery we had to be at the hospital at 6:00 a.m.! We were there and ready to go, both of us were very anxious! I knew it was going to be hard seeing your child go off for a surgery and to be completley put under. Once we were there and they wheeled him off from us I had no idea how hard it was going to be! He got some good drugs before he left us so the separation was no big deal for him. It helped that he wasn't screaming leaving us.
We waited patiently for about 20 minutes or so and then Dr. Jakob came out and said everything went well!! Quick surgery!!! We went into recovery and were there when he woke up. It was hard seeing him hooked up to the machines but it was a relief seeing him there ok.
That day he slept almost the entire day, they gave him lots of drugs that really knocked him out! Vallum, anesthesia, morphine and tylenol! Holy moly, that is a lot for that little body! He did well at home that day and went to school the next day!
One Week Follow Up Appointment!
Dr. Jakob said everything looks great! We could already see a huge improvement in him! He was talking more and responding more! He had a few rough nights and we weren't sure why but we found out his molars were coming in! Well that explains it!! He took another hearing test and it the results were great, much better than the first hearing test he took! It's amazing what this surgery can do to kids!! I'm so glad it went well and that he is talking/babbling more!
He loved this machine and wanted to do it over and over! The nurse said that she has never had a kid want to do it over and over!
The meds are kicking in!
Giggling at himself!
Waking up slowly.
When he woke up he was not a fan of the IV at all!
