ANOTHER SURGERY FOR AJ

We saw the ENT today and AJ is set for another surgery, his third. This time they are putting in "t tubes". They are semi-permanent and will stay in for 2 years or more. When they come out it will likely be because they are removed as they typically don't fall out. He is also getting his adenoids out. The doctor promises me that this will be nothing like the 2 weeks of hell we suffered when Jake had his tonsils and adenoids out when he was 3. That was brutal!!! He says it's the tonsils part that is so painful and the adenoids are simpler with fewer complications/risks and much less pain. He better not be lying to me! Hopefully this will help with AJ's ears and maybe in so doing will help break his reflux/ ears/pneumonia/reflux cycle. It helped Jake to sleep better, funny how breathing will do that for you, anyway, hopefully it's going to do the same for AJ. At the least it's going to help his snoring, maybe that will help Caleb to sleep better, wink wink!
