EARS, EARS, WONDERFUL EARS!


I have had it with these!

  We have had the worst luck with ears.  Hayden has had 3 set of tubes, more ear infections then I could count, and my sister-in-law wondered why he always looked like he had Top Ramen coming out of his ears!  He now has the tubes that have to be surgically removed, and will have them till he is 8!

Mack has had 2 sets of tubes, and instead of his draining, like they are supposed to, they get clogged.  Which causes added pain and pressure!

Sawyer has been my healthy one.  She has had one ear infection in 16 months, until yesterday.  She has 2 whappin ear infections.  That is a very Dr.ish term dont you think.  That is honestly what he said!

I am done with the oneryness, the Drs.,  the antibiotics, and the lack of sleep!  So anybody needing something to do, let say around 3 am, come on over I am sure we are up!


And this next picture was way to good not to pass up!

Oh you poor thing!! Grant was born with a double ear infection, had tubes, and then later had surgery to correct them...or something like that. So he has always thought Crew would have ear infections also. So far we havent had any problem.

The last couple of times we have taken Crew to the doctor, for the first time Grant didn't ask the nurse like a million times if his ears looked okay, and its all because his body was covered in a rash and I think he just forgot about the ears....for once.

And if it makes you feel any better, I am usually up at 3am also....with my boob out for the world to see!

Oh my heck! That is horrible. I am so sorry. Hays had an ear infection constantly from birth to 10 months and then she got tubes and it has fixed her problems. I wish you would have had the same luck. I am so sorry. That would explain Sawyers temperature the other day, dangit. Hope they get feeling better soon and you can get some more sleep. That is NO fun.

Dude I know what you are going through. my 2 girls have had the wrost luck with ears my oldest lost 15% in one ear for her hearing due to ear infections, she has one of the woest i.e.p's they have ever seen in her schoo. but is progressign and when she was in "kids on the move" they also said the same thing. and it is so hard to understand her some times and she gets so mad at us. My 2nd daughter has they same problem no hearing loss though and is gettign help for her speech and she was to get those tube that need to be surgicla removed also but we are waitng...( To see is they even help more than the others ones we have already done like you . do they help!!!

That is the worst!!! Hopefully Sawyer won't have to get tubes!!!

That is so sad. You DO have the worst luck with ears. Brett had lots of ear infections as a baby and was one away from having tubes. Luckily he never got another one!

Your poor kids. Next time I'm up there, I'll come part at 3! Better yet, why don't we have another girls weekend down here with no kids! That will solve the problem!

How awful! I've been lucky and Brecken has never even had one ear infection. I feel for you though!

When kids get ear infections, it's SO hard! They are in so much pain, cry all the time, and just need you to hold them all day and all night. I don't know how you've done it all these years. Hang in there! Hopefully Sawyer won't get many more.

That sucks! I remember you and I discussing this in nursery! I hope Sawyer doesn't end up having to have tubes. Not fun! Ele's finally cleared up with out tubes! We are crossing our fingers with Phin!
Good Luck!
