**** CORRECTION****** Liam's surgery will be next wednesday, 2/23. The surgicenter could not schedule Liam until 11:45, with surgery sometime between 12:45 - 1:15. Liam would have only been able to nurse at 6 am and then no food at all until surgery... not going to work for him.
We all went to the ENT yesterday afternoon. He recommended surgery to put in ear tubes... not a big surprise there. I heard back from his surgery scheduler today and we are going in on Wednesday, 2/23 to have the procedure done at Children's Hospital. We do not have a time yet, but will hear from them sometime on Tuesday.
The surgery itself takes only about 10 minutes, but they told us to expect to be there for 2-3 hours total. The hardest/trickiest part is going to be the eating thing. Liam won't be able to eat like normal and won't be able to nurse in the morning... which is going to be a scream-fest... We can give him some juice or pedialyte... hopefully that will make him happy enough until after the surgery.
He should be perfectly fine the next day and definitely ready for daycare on Monday!
