Owen's ENT Appointment

This past Thursday Owen had his first appointment with and ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) Specialist to discuss his excessive ear infections. I guess it is procedure to do a hearing test on all their patients and Owen loved it. They made him sit in the little room and they played different sounds to see if he would try and look to see where they were coming from. He thought it was so much fun and was so proud of himself every time the lady would tell him "Good Job Owen!" Anyway, he passed his hearing test with flying colors; however, they are recommending that he get tubes put in his ears. It is a super simple procedure that takes about 5 min. They will insert these tiny little tubes in his ears and that will help his ears to drain out fluid better. I am a little nervous about them having to put him to sleep, but I know it is the best thing for him and it will be nice not to have him on antibiotics every month. I have talked to so many people who had to get them for their kids and they all highly recommend that I get it done for him. I will keep you all posted when the procedure will be done. Please pray for my little guy and his mommy to stay sane during the process!
