Surgery for getting tubes in your ears.

Tweet

My son just turned 10 months old. He's been struggling with ear infections since he was 4 months old. He has to get the surgery to get the tubes put in. This poor kid just can't get a break. His ears have caused constant infection of both ears, constant congestion, coughing, wheezing, eye infections. They don't drain properly, which apparently causes the congestion and coughing. I have a nebulizer as needed. Mostly the cough is just a problem at night. He has to have the ac on low, in order to breath ok. The fan will make him worse. Its so hard watching him suffer. This child is the happiest baby ever, and he's just such a trooper. Oral antibiotics don't work to clear the infection. So he has been at the doctors like 5 times in the past two weeks getting antibiotic injections. Of course these hurt him and he cries. It breaks my heart when he has to get them and he looks at me with his big eyes full of tears. Ugh, i just feel like the worst person in the world when that happens. I know i'm doing what is best for my son, but i'm just sick of waiting. His appointment with the specialist is August 30th and they said it could be as far as September he gets his tubes in. I've been fighting to get him and earlier appointment. I just can't stand waiting and not being able to help him! Has anyone gone through this?
