Tubes

Well, we are officially getting tubes for Jackson. He had a low grade fever last weekend and the beginning of last week. It has been so difficult to know what is going on with him between ear infections, colds, and we believe he is also teething again!! When he woke up Tuesday morning he was VERY warm and he had a fever. I decided I was bringing him in to the doctor to see if there was anything going on with his ears and sure enough - he had an ear infection in the left ear and fluid in the right ear. The nurse practitioner suggested we go ahead with the tubes since this was probably only going to continue if we didn't do tubes.

So....Tuesday afternoon I scheduled his surgery for March 19. It is so hard for me to imagine the little guy having to go through surgery, but I know that it will be the best for him and he will be so much happier. I haven't talked to one mom who regrets going through the tubes. In fact, everyone I have talked to says it was amazing and they would do it again in a heartbeat. Please say some special prayers for us especially on March 19 when Jackson has his surgery!

On another note, Jackson is close to walking! He's taken a few steps and is getting a little braver every day! He has recently been VERY interested in the bathroom and Brady's potty. Here is a fun picture of him checking it out before bathtime. I would love to have this boy potty trained before the age of 1 :)

Brady really wanted a picture of him and Jackson together on their potties so here it is! This one will go in the file to show his girlfriends :)
