It all started at the beginning of September where we had noticed a change in Benjamin's sleeping habits the previous month. At first we blamed it all on jet-lag, but after an entire month, we were thinking it had to be something else. The doctor found fluid in both ears and said to come back a month later....a month later there was still fluid, and we were referred to a ear doctor. The ear doctor told us after 2 minutes, that there was a lot of fluid and that Benjamin would need tubes in both ears. She told us a little about the procedure and then we made an appointment for the operation the following Monday. (Luckily we could get in before our trip to the US).
Monday came quickly and it was time for the operation. It was definitely the hardest on Mom. Benjamin took it all so well, he only whined a little bit while they had the anesthesia mask on and a bit when he woke up. The whole thing only took about 5 minutes and the doctor said it was definitely needed.
We drove home and Benjamin took a good nap when we got home. When he woke up, he seemed back to normal, except that he wasn't screaming when we changed his diaper, or while we ate, or at any point in the middle of the night. (All of this had been improving slightly before the operation, but I don't think it is only a coincidence!
We are just glad if this will help our baby to not be in pain.
