My baby boy is having surgery today and I'm so nervous. I know that it's simple but it's still my baby. He is having tubes put in his ears and I've been up for hours looking it up online to see if there are any negative repracutions from having the surgery. He is only 9 months old and I don't want to make the wrong decision. He's had three ear infections since he has been born and had acid reflux so the doctor said that the acid has been damaging his ears. I still don't think I want him to have it. I don't know what I should do...
I know it's hard... even if it's a so called simple procedure but this is your little tiny baby and it's scary... but I urge you to put your trust and heart in God's hands... Give God the control over this procedure and He will make sure all goes well... I will continue to pray for him throughout the morning and for you... try to stay positive and give him all the love you have in you so that he may feel your strength and love...
Again, good luck with this and try to stay calm.. ((BIG HUG)))
I know it's scary! I had it done for my oldest son. It was done in the morning and by lunchtime it was like we hadnt even been at the hospital. Of course there are always risks involved, but sometimes you have to put your faith in others that they will do what is best for your son. I have great confidence that everything will be just fine.
I know you're scared. My little boy is about to turn one and my little girl is three. They both came close to having to have tubes in their ears. It's a simple procedure.
My husband had tubes when he was a kid and that was nearly thirty years ago! Think about the progress the medical community has made.
Your baby will be fine. Try not to stress out too much (easier said than done huh?). But remember that your baby can pick up on your feelings and there's no reason to get the baby nervous too right?
Hang tough.
I *love* how I am not the only one that writes "cake" in place of other similar words....(came)
Glad he is doing fine!
Its great that your doctor recognizes the connection between acid reflux and ear infections. So many doctors don't. I have two granddaughters both born with reflux problems and both have had tubes. The older one continued to have ear infections every few weeks (about 10 that first year) but at least her ears were able to drain. the younger one continues but the number and severity has decreased. Hope that your child does well with his tubes.
My nephew had the surgery years ago and there do not seem to be any long-term repercussions. I'm happy to hear that all is well!
<<hugs>>
i just wanted to chime in that my nephew had this as well geez... about 25yrs ago and hes downs syndrome and hes had no probs whatsoever from them
im glad to hear all went well for both of you - well done mum
