Riley is getting tubes

Tomorrow is the day that we have waited for, for a long time. Since October, Riley has been getting ear infections really bad. He would lay on the floor crying...saying his ear hurt. We'd take him in, get a prescription for him for 2 weeks, be done with the medication, go two days and then have it all happen again. He seriously has not been off an antibiodic since October. Finally we were told that he could get tubes. The first surgery was scheduled for the last week in February, but the day of the pre-op, we found out that he had a fever and we had to cancel the appointment. That was the beginning of his stomach flu, which lasted until last Thursday. Today we had his pre-op again! He had some tummy problems yesterday and we were worried that his surgery would be cancelled, but today they said that we were going to do it. Tomorrow morning at 10:10, Riley will be getting tubes in his ears. He is so excited that he won't have to say, "What", anymore. He is also excited that he hopefully won't have any more ear infections. Today is said he was really excited for it to be April. When I asked why, he said, "Because I'll have tubes in my ears and I will be feeling good!" I hope this works for him! I am nervous to see how he will react to coming out of the anesethia. I have heard that that is the worst part of getting tubes! We can't wait for Riley to be better! :)
