Thanks. How were your kids post op? The doctor told me he'd be out of it/disoriented/cranky because of the anesthesia.

Don't buy that, only slightly irritable. Up running around like nothing happened the next day. Start him on tylenol drops or elixir or liquid motrin the night before and give him another dose 4 hours before surgery even if you wake up in the middle of the night to do it (unless it is motrin then you need to follow the directions as I recall it is every 8 hours). Keep him on tylenol or motrin around the clock for the first 24 hours and you should be good to go. You will be surprised how much he improves in the first month.

One last ear infection before surgery... I'll be so happy when we no longer have to go through this. He was so upset yesterday because his little ears hurt so much. The tylenol wasn't helping at all. 2 more days until tubes...
