Tubes

Because she had been having recurring ear infections, the doctor recommened that Enola have tubes put in her ears. He found that she had fluid trapped behind her ear (it has bacteria in it), and as long as that was there she would keep getting reinfected. Rather than continue to shoot her up with antibiotics, we took her in Monday morning for the very quick (5-10 minute) surgery. It went great. She was SCREAMIN' mad when she woke up from the anesthesia, but after she nappped on the way home, she seemed to be back to her normal cheerful self. She's had a great day today, and we hope this surgery will have its lasting intended good!

No teeth yet!

We got all dolled up for a wedding Saturday night. Enola bobbed along to the music on the dance floor with me and finally crashed in a friend's arms at around 9:30. A few people have told me how drastically tubes seemed to affect their kids' hearing. Dave and I wondered if that meant E would no longer be able to tune out the blaring music and sleep through wedding receptions (as she has a habit of doing).

  1. Hope that the tubes work for Enola. There's nothing worse than when your child doesn't feel well. Love to you all!
