Gage will be getting tubes put in his ears on Friday the 21st. We are looking forward to this hoping it will make him feel better, eat better and maybe even balance better. Gage has had fluid on his ears for probably close to 3 weeks now, but w/o an infection there's not much they can do. He had fluid last Monday when we went to the ENT and I figured it would be an infection by week's end. But Gage went for his pre-op on Friday and still fluid, but no infection. Gage has been sleeping through the night the last couple of days, so maybe they are not bothering him as much as I thought. Also when Gage went to the dr. on Friday, he weighed in at 4 oz. lighter than 6 weeks ago. That worries me a little--he has been sick, but I feel like he's been eating ok as well. Some days are better than others, but I've read that's typical of a child his age. I guess we'll see what they say at his 15 mo. appt. next month.
It seems I know so many babies lately that have gotten/are going to get tubes. And it seems that Gage happens to be one of the happier ones. For the most part, his infections don't seem to have bothered him too much. However, after the tubes, who knows what difference we will see. We are so thankful that his infections haven't delayed his speech, he definitely has that going for him. I have some cute pictures to post soon, but maybe I'll wait 'til Wednesday. Here's hoping to see a little snow tomorrow night.
