Ear Tubes

My poor little Beckett just can not get rid of his ear infections.  They've been going on now for almost 2 1/2 months and it's one after another.  Last week, his pedi finally said she recommends tubes.  So, we saw an ENT who tested him and said he has lost a significant amount of his hearing (but, is not worried that after the procedure he will hear just fine). 
So, on Monday we went to the surgery center (just Beckett and I...yes, I was a nervous wreck that entire night and morning).  But, I am happy to say...it was simple and so quick.  He did AWESOME!  Hardly any tears!  We went home and he took an almost 2 hr nap.  I was so excited that I was going to finally get some sleep.  Unfortunately, he did not sleep too great the 1st night post-op.  I guess he had so much puss and mucus in his ears when they cleaned it all out.  Well, now he can more than likely hear everything ...every little sound.  Which is AWESOME!!!  I know it will get better with the sleeping.
Here is a before picture of Beckett waiting to get the tubes
 And, here he is sleeping so soundly.  I love him so much!!!
