Tube kids

[bantyrooster]

Anyone else's tubes come out yet? Gage had his one year follow up today. One tube is out and the hole healed. It was full of wax so hopefully it functions normally without the tube. The other literally fell out today, the pedi saw it in yesterday and it is out of the drum today. That ear still has the hole in the drum.

We are going back in 3 months to make sure the ones hole closed and to make sure they are okay with no tubes. She said then she would " do housekeeping " and remove the actual tubes from sitting in his ears. So here is to hoping our tube journey is done!

How are everyone else's tubes doing?

Ingrid's first set disloged and had to be replaced because she got infected again. That was over a year ago with no issues, though, so I think she is finally fine.
Eli just had tubes put in last week. Hoping this set lasts!

jodielyn10 how long did Ingrid's first set last? We, knock in wood, have had no infections since they have been in. I am hoping now that they have grown out we are just done.

I don't remember exactly, but I don't think it was very long. Maybe a few months?

Emma's tubes have been out for about a year. She has had no ear infections since despite having lots of colds, which used to always lead to an ear infection. We have been very pleased!
