Dawes Family

Dallin has had 7 ear infections since November, and since Disneyland he has been a nightmare. I have been trying to get him an ENT appointment, but didn't have much luck. They soonest I was able to get him in way February 9th.

Well by then he would have 2 more ear infections and a mom that would be "NUTS"

On Wednesday Katelyn had an appointment with an ENT and I thought that I would just ask the Doctor to take a peek in his ears. After Katelyn's was check he took a look in Dallin's ear. Told me that they were in bad shape, walked out of the room and with in 2 min. was back asking me if I would be able to come in on Thursday.

I WAS SO HAPPY! I didn't want to go another day with him in pain.

Poor kid didn't know what was coming. . .

Wednesday night after Mike and my dad gave him a blessing I put him to sleep around 10:30pm

I wasn't able to get to bed until midnight.

Well 12:36 started our fun. . . he was up from 12:36 - 1:00 am, and then again at 2:30.

But from 2:30 - 5:00 he did nothing but cry. I tried everything. I even took him for a ride at 4:00 in the morning. All he did was "SCREAM" after 50 min. of that I came home asked Mike to take him so I could get in the shower.

By the time I got out he was sound asleep in Mike arms.

Very cute but at the same time I was ticked!

I tryed EVERYTHING and Mike takes him and goes right to sleep, what up with that?

We had to be at the Riverton Hospital at 6:15am.
When we got there everyone was so nice, and Dallin was eating it up.
Plus he had the TV to him self. With 2 sisters that doesn't happen much.

Right about now they gave Dallin a "Happy Drug"
that is what the nurse called it. I asked her why, she told me it was to help him not remember what was to happen today. It would make him pretty loopy for 30-45 min

And that it did.
I was laughing so hard at him, it was so cute he just kept looking around didn't know what to expect. it was just so cute.
Nurse kept coming in just to watch him, he was just to funny.

This was taken right before they took him from me.

There goes my son with one of the Doctors. He was a champ!

He didn't even cry and I know it was because of the drugs but it helped me.
I remember when Katelyn had this done she screamed all the way down the hall and I was in tears.

This was much better.

No more then 10 min the Doctor came in and told me that everything went well and that he would be in with in 15 min.

He also told me that the left ear was pretty bad that every time he would lay down that the pressure would make the ear drum expand, and the pain would be unbearable.

Now I feel like the worse mother ever.

Thank goodness Mike came, he wasn't going to due to a test today and work but I had no sleep and Mike was worried I wouldn't be able to handle it. But I think I did really well!
