Today was Round 2 of ear tubes for Riley. Yes, we've done this before, but Riley is part of the lucky minority of kids that not only get to get ear tubes, but get them twice! I am hopeful though that with the new set of tubes, they will prevent future ear infections, especially when that season comes back around in full swing.
Riley was a total pro and aced the ear tubes Olympics. He showed no fear and was really a champ the whole way through. From waking up early to being wheeled into the operating room, recovery and moving on, he was always in a good mood and had high spirits - making the whole day a lot easier than last time where we weren't able to communicate what was happening as well.
With Chris in Israel, it was key to have the right back-up in place and BiBi and Zee really stepped up to the plate. From the minute they walked in the door at 6am, we had everything down to a science so we were able to get Asher to school, Riley to the hospital, have him recover at their house where extra hands were on deck and be a support system for me.
On top of all of that, Addison had an ear infection that had to be taken care of too, so Stacey to the rescue by getting us an appointment this afternoon at a new vet that I now love! She now has clean ears and medicine that will stay in for 2 weeks so I don't have to do anything - yey!
And with all of that happening in the past 16 hours, it is now time to go to sleep!!!
