Today was the big day...Jakob got ear tubes put in. He's had several ear infections and because he is allergic to penicillin, we were running out of options. I'll admit, I was freaked out after hearing all of the crying coming from the other kids that had just had the procedure done. But...Jakob, true to form, came through like a champ! He woke up for a split second after they handed him to me after the surgery and was a little wimpery, but then fell fast asleep. He woke up about 15 minutes later happy as a clam!
It was perfect timing for the tubes because the dr said that while she was doing the surgery she noticed that his ear drum had burst so she had to clean a bunch of stuff out. I swear Jakob must have a high tolerance from pain, we had no idea that happened!
Anywho...he's (hopefully) taking a looooooong nap (mama needs one too!) so we'll see how things go later but...we're glad its over!

Oh my goodness! Bad ears must run in our family bc all of Krista's kids had tubes too. so far we've escaped that nasty gene... knock on wood.
Glad he is doing better, and hopefully the tubes take care of the prob.
He was one cute Super J!
That is always the best alternative to major ear infections! Smart decision - I really hope that he starts feeling better soon. It should help a ton.
Hillary is right...ear infections just might run in the family. My Steve had so many ear infections as a baby that he was constantly on antibiotics. Not good. Jakob was adorable as Super J! Were the kids he went trick or treating with cousins? Because he sure looks alot like them.
Awwwww, I'm SO GLAD it went okay and he is one tough little guy! We may be headed down the tubes road too, we'll see how the next couple months go with cold season here. Can't wait to see you and Jakob to play!
Jakob was totally Super J for the ear tube procedure! That's my neph!
Bless his heart and yours! I think procedures are just as hard on the parents as they are for the kids! I loved the Super J costume! Is that his alter ego?! :)
