Friday Fun and Bye-Bye Tubes

Friday, we took the kiddos for a lunch date and a carousel ride. We were standing VERY close by but we let them ride on the horses by themselves for the first time today. The horses have seat belts on them to keep the kiddos in place and they all LOVED riding the horses like big kids :)

Friday afternoon, we had an appointment with our ENT doctor because it had been a week and Cason's ear infection had still not cleared up. The appointment did not go so well. Cason's left ear and left tube look great---no problems. However, the right tube had to be pulled out. It was dislodged and not working properly. It has been 9 months since we put the tubes in and we knew that they would fall out on their own anywhere between 9-12 months. The doctor doesn't know if the tube fell out on it's own and got stuck and caused the infection----or if the infection was just so bad that it pushed the tube out. Either way, the tube is now gone. It took 3 people holding Cason down for the doctor to be able to work on Cason's ear. He was EXTREMELY upset and I just felt so bad for him. We go back in 2 weeks for a follow up with the ENT. He said we are just going to watch it and see if Cason starts having problems with his right ear----if so, the most likely option in our near future is a second set of tubes for his ears---poor baby :(
