OK

Okay, so we're home now and Will is sleeping in his bed. It surprisingly was a pretty tough morning. He naturally woke up around 5:30 and the first thing he wanted was his juice. It was so hard having to refuse him for the next three hours. He is also so wise to what is going on and is very afraid of anyone in the medical field. Poor guy. We got there around 6:20 and they took him around 8:10. The doc said he was going to be sure he irrigated his ears well after removing the tubes. He used a liter of antibiotic to irrigate the ears!! WOW! He said by the end they had finally started to run clear. Good news was the infection was still on the outside of the eardrum and the mastoids were still clear. He went ahead and did a full work up of blood. They are doing more allergy testing and doing his blood count again to see if the anemia has resolved. He also for safe measure went ahead and is testing his immune system to see if anything has changed. The last time they did this the levels came back normal. So I am not too terribly worried, although there is always a bit in the back of your mind. They went ahead and gave him IV antibiotics while he was in recovery so we hope he is topped off and is good to go. He had a very hard time in recovery. I have never heard my son cry the way he did this morning. It absolutely broke my heart to know there was nothing I could do to soothe him. I pray so much that this is the last time he EVER has to go through this again.
Thanks for all of your continued prayers. I know they are working.
