“Fluid in my ears? I don’t hear anything.”
Cole had his ear tube surgery today. Is it bad when the staff at the hospital knows who you are without checking your chart? I guess Cole has obtained “regular status” at Phoenix Children’s. Cole was the second surgery of the day. There was a boy before Cole having the same surgery. His parents were a mess and couldn’t stop crying. Rookies! hahaha. The surgery takes about 10 minutes at most. One of the questions we had was since Cole had so much fluid in his ear for so long, could the pressure affect his eating? Well today he ate better and drank better than he has for a long time. Is it related to his surgery or the fact we starved him before surgery? Anyways, he’s doing great and you would never know he was at the hospital today.
In other news, we meet with the peed to talk about our long term care regarding Cole’s eating. We’ve seen all the doctors, therapists, and nutritionists. Now it’s time to come up with a plan. I’m guessing it goes something like this: give him less formula and make him eat high calorie foods. But what do I know, I’m a blogger not a doctor dammit!

“So are you my agent or aren’t you?! If I don’t want to wear pants on the court, I ain’t wearing pants, no make it happen!”
I fell over laughing at the Rookies bit. It’s mean, but true. While I know I was at that point myself, I feel like going up to them and saying “you know, it could be a lot worse…this is nothing.”
