Caleb's post surgery update

Caleb had a check up on May 1st which was exactly 2 weeks from getting his tubes. I knew going in we would probably be told he had an infection because the night before he woke up crying and screaming and I noticed some drainage. He also refused to eat the last few days prior to that. Sure enough his left ear is still infection. The good news is that his right ear was always the worst and that had completely cleared up. The left ear is infection but it's not a new infection. The ENT said his ears were so bad when they did surgery that they probably couldn't get all the fluid out. He tried getting more of the fluid sucked out and gave him some drops. He put Caleb on omnicef twice a day for 10 days and ear drops twice a day for 7 days. We go back on May 14th for a check up. He said some kids just have a tough time getting the infection to go away but once we knock it out, he shouldn't have as much problems as he has had.

Yesterday Caleb had absolutely no drainage and he has been such a happy boy. He even slept from 7:30 pm to 7:10 am which he has not done since before surgery. I think we're getting somewhere now!!!!
