Micah's surgery went well this morning. It was really fast and we were out of there by 8:40. He was infected in both ears, so he should feel a lot better later today. The fluid in his right ear has become the consistency of glue. The ENT said that means it's been there for awhile and had started dehydrating. I'm thinking that the hearing in that ear had to have been affected. He has a prescription for some antibiotic drops and can have motrin or tylenol as needed. Micah went willingly into surgery, but was not a happy camper when he woke up. He screamed for about an hour and a half and is very clingy, which is understandable. We finally got him to calm down and now he's crying on and off. I am told this is very common as the anesthesia wears off, plus it probably hurts some. The ENT said he'd be fine by the afternoon. Thanks for all the prayers. I am so happy for him that we won't have to deal with all these infections anymore.
All the boys are well now. They've all been fever free for a week (more than that for two of them). They were doing much better last week, but I had read that you are contagious for a week afterwards, so we stayed home anyhow. But now that timeframe has passed as well so we should be good to go.
I have asked my social worker to let me know when the birthmom picks up the baby. My brain just needs to know that for closure. We (the social worker and us) have decided that it might be better for us if she doesn't call us next time until we are three days out from the end of the revocation period. That way, we'll have a little notice, but the chances that a birthmom will change her mind are much slimmer after already being 7 days into it. I'll let you know when I hear from her later.
