Ear tube surgery

Jennifer

I’m so nervous for my daughters Ear tube surgery:( they said it won’t take that long, and she won’t even notice they’re there. But I’m having so much trouble with the fact they have to put her to sleep for the surgery, and I’m gonna bawl like a baby when I have to lay her down and leave so they can work. It’s literally making me so anxious I can’t sleep .

My daughter was 11 months when she had her tubes. I know this isn't really going to help...lol. but I would possibly not go in when they put her to sleep. I went in with my daughter and had a mini freak out when she went limp in my arms. But the surgery literally only takes like 10ish minutes. Me and my fiancè made it to the cafeteria and a nurse came to get us cuz our daughter was awake...lol.(I thought something was wrong but nope they just got done) she was groggy for a little bit after which was pretty weird to see her like that. I hope everything goes good for you. Just remember to breathe and it'll be done and over with before you know it! Goodluck

They wouldn’t let me back to put her to sleep because she had a cough and was congested and she sorta reached out to the nurse so I didn’t feel as bad. They said she did really well. Thank you .

My first had this surgery at above 2 years old. It's such a quick and easy surgery don't worry. The worst part is definetly seeing them be put under but know that she is in good hands and the tubes will make a huge difference!Good luck!
