Keeghan had his follow up appointment with his ENT today... I believe this appointment was scheduled back in April of last year. We got there at 1:00 and FINALLY got back to the office at 3:45. Ridiculous. SO his ENT said one tube is out and the other ear had too much wax and fluid to see anything. Since he's had more ear infections recently he decided to put more ear tubes in and take his adenoids out. He said that by taking his adenoids out it will prevent him needing a THIRD set of tubes. I sure hope so! The scheduler is supposed to call us by Friday to schedule his surgery. Oh, and he failed his hearing test, but they think it's probably just from all the fluid in there, so they'll repeat that after his surgery. We didn't get out of there until almost 5 and Keeghan had NO nap but man was he good!! He crashed almost as soon as he got into his car seat!
On a lighter note, we got to have dinner tonight with a couple who lives here in town and is expecting a baby girl with Down syndrome! It was so much fun to meet them and let them bounce questions off us and stuff. They are going to be fabulous parents! They already have a 2 year old son who is SO cute!
Anyway, we just got home and got the kids to bed, so we're going to relax a bit and then go to bed ourselves. It's been a long day! Kass, Kam and I all have check ups tomorrow for the adoption paperwork stuff. Fun! Thanks for all the comments on the wordless Wednesday, they were cracking me up all day! I love getting email on my phone!
Night all!

Well I guess that is good news that they are going to try again. Carson had 11 ear infections in one year and (knock on wood) he hasn't had any since we got the tubes.
Hope all goes well with the adoption paperwork.
Oh I'm sorry. I was sure Hannah's tubes would fall out every month but they lasted 5 years. Hope this does the trick!
Stopping by to let you know I'm still praying!

Jason has had fluid in one of his ears at his last two appointments. Its not infected but the Dr said we can't let it sit there forever. He has an appointment on Monday so we'll see what the Dr says. Praying for Keeghan and you.
What a long day. Im sorry to hear he needs another surgery, but it's wonderful it should solve the problem for good!!!
Girl, What would you do if you had a boring day???
Yuck for surgery, yay for not having endless sets of tubes... pretty sure Ava is on her way to tubes. Aidan had basically a constant ear infection until he got tubes but then he was OK. Will pray.
I'm glad you got to meet the parents-to-be, you are a great ambassador for Down syndrome (or maybe I should say Kennedy is)!

I guess that explains those ear infections he's getting. You almost wonder sometimes how you don't notice something like that fell out ;). Hopefully next time it won't take so long to get an appointment to see the ENT.
That is so great that you are there to try to make an overwhelming situation like Down Syndrome a little smoother. I bet that couple is so relieved to have had that.
Good luck with your physicals today. I hope all goes well. Did Frank ever get his physical scheduled?
Well, that sucks about the surgery, but hopefully it will rid the ear infections.
Now, why would they just take out the adenoids and not the tonsils too. I never understood that. Tonsils and adenoids seem to go together, and with your family's history with strep wouldn't it be a good preventative?
Poor little guy. Max has his adenoids out in hopes that it would help with draining the fluid out. That was long ago. He has had about 7 or so sets of tubes. I lost count really.
Hope the surgery is scheduled soon and not at the end of year! That is a long wait to see an ENT. And a long wait in the office. Ours used to have a LONG wait too. He has gotten SO much better. Maybe he had too many complaints or something.
I hope all goes well with your little man, and that this will help him stay well.
Love to you!
