This morning, we took Sam to an ENT. In the last 3 or so months, he's had 5 ear infections and that's not really a good thing. So, tomorrow morning at 7a.m., we'll be up in Plano getting him ready to get tubes put in his ears and his adenoids removed. The tubes are no big deal; they put you under for about 2 seconds and insert them, then wake you up. The adenoids thing takes a little longer, about 15 minutes. They go in through the mouth and yank/scrape them out. They say Sam will be back to normal a couple of days later.
It's really a no big deal procedure, but it still isn't fun to think about my little boy being knocked out while several tools go in his mouth and all the way up to his adenoids.
I feel especially bad because my DNA is responsible. I had all the same stuff done when I was a kid. So did my brother, sister, two of my nephews, and soon, another nephew. It's a Thomas thing.
With exception to the actual procedure, we're really excited about this. Poor little guy has had to put up with pain, congestion, and not being able to sleep well at all. This should make his life a lot better. I'll let you know how it goes!

Bailey had tubes put in a few months ago, She was always having ear infections but has not had one since. I will be praying for you, Nicole and Sam.
hope your little man did well today!!! Just an FYI if they didn't tell you his breath will not smell so good in a couple of days!!! Seems that is a little tid bit of info they don't tell parents when the addnoids are removed. No worries, nothing died in there he is just healing. : )
