I'm stressing out. Tuf was recommended to get tubes in his ears. I'm worried because my little boy is about to have a surgical procedure. Tuf has had about four ear infections in about nine months. Josh and Justin both had to get tubes when they were little because of constant ear infections. Dad mentioned that Kylee and I had ear infections a lot, but we never had tubes put in. I think that is what makes me the most nervous because it is foreign. I have heard a lot of people say how easy the procedure is and that Tuf will never notice, but it isn't helping my worries any.
I don't want my baby to have to go under anesthesia in the first place. The nurse said it was general anesthesia, which I think is laughing gas, but it is anesthesia none the less. He is just too little. He just turned one for Heaven's sake!
Second, I don't want something not normal in his body. They're going to put little tiny tubes in his ear canals. I don't want him to be uncomfortable in any way. What are we going to do when he has to go swimming? Will we have to put that wax in his ears?
Will it hurt him? Will he pitch a fit when we try to put the wax in so he can get in the pool? What will happen when water does get in his ears? My biggest problem is that I don't want my baby to be in any sort of pain. I would take it for him any day...every day if I had to. He has no clue what is about to happen to him. I don't want Tuf to be scared when we take him to the hospital to have this done. I am doing my best to protect him from these things.
It is supposed to take only 15-20 minutes. That shouldn't be too bad, right? Maybe I am overreacting. Maybe I am making this a bigger deal than it should be. My anxiety levels are so high worrying about what Tuf might think or how he will react to it all. I just need to breathe...breathe. Wooosssaaahhh!
Josh will be with us when we take him to get it done. It is a short recovery time, so maybe he will be just fine. I need Josh there. I couldn't take him there on my own. Josh is my rock and I need him there to help me stay relaxed just as much as Tuf needs him.
Ok. I guess I am done stressing. Maybe. For now.
I love you.
