Today was Kallen's surgery to get tubes put in his ears in order to remove excess fluid and improve his hearing loss. The entire process has been an up and down roller coaster to say the least, the surgery was the easy part of it all. I spent the last few days inside with the kiddos and constantly monitoring germs and staying clean. I thought we were in the clear as he woke up fine on Sunday morning. Then coming home from church he began complaining his stomach hurt and quickly began a low grade fever. His temp never hit 101 and we called the surgeon to get his opinion. He said since the surgery is such a minor one and he was not vomiting, having diarrhea or temps over 102, we should proceed. Kallen woke up twice last night in pain and still with the low grade fever. We still decided to take him in with the expectation we may have to reschedule. Although thankfully the surgery went very smoothly and super fast. We arrived on time at 6 AM, with the surgery scheduled for 7:35 AM. He went in promptly at 7:35 and was done by 7:45. The staff all said he did great and was a champ. He still continued having a low grade fever throughout the day, so I just hope the boy feels 100% healthy in the next few days with two ears that now can successfully hear.
Just got changed and waiting in pre-op. Temp at 99.9
Poor boy, not feeling good and super tired
Right after surgery, still tired but Tylenol has helped lift his spirits as well as a new Sven the nurses all gave him
Feeling a lot better with meds and his juice
Ride home, exhausted and snuggling his favorites.
