Today I left work at 10:30, came home and picked up CJ & then we headed to pick up Carter from daycare. Today was his appointment with the ENT doctor, Dr. Daidone in Calvert. Fellow mom-blogger Diana referred us to her-she did her son Bryce’s tubes. Well, after seeing her today we both really liked her. She is a very nice lady & extremely gentle with Carter. She didn’t just jump right in like most doctors, she warmed up to him first and because she did that-Carter was very cooperative. She checked his ears & asked us some questions about his history. After that, she told us that it would be best for him to get tubes. I wasn’t really that surprised when she said it though. After all, the poor guy has had SEVEN ear infections since January 09. When I told how many he’s had, she said that usually they encourage tubes if a baby/child has had 3 ear infections in 1 year…Carter has surpassed that already and it hasn’t even been a full year yet!! So, we scheduled his appointment for November 9th. They said they would call a week before to let us know what time to bring him in, but most likely it will be EARLY, like 6:30 am!! That way he doesn’t have to go too long with out eating, since he can’t have anything to eat or drink after midnight. I know it’s probably going to be rough that morning, but in the end it will be worth it. She assured us that this will help him a great deal :) Anyway, here are some pictures from the ride home this afternoon! He was soo tired tonight from this long day that he fell asleep at 7:15pm :)
So tired…
It was a busy day, but a good day :) Tomorrow is Friday TGIF!!
