And the verdict is....

We are getting tubes put in on January 25th. We went to the ENT specialist this morning and she checked Macy's ears which were both still filled with fluid. The antibiotics that she just finished Monday got rid of the infection but her ears were still holding the fluid. The doctor (which I really liked) said with as many ear infections as she has had since May (six of them) she thought it'd be a good idea to go ahead and put the tubes in. I agreed! Although it's a little scary to think of them having to put her to sleep, no IV's just gas and the surgery will only take 3-5 minutes and that Macy would come out feeling like a whole new child. I hope she is right. I think it will help Macy's speech to be clearer which the doctor also agreed and she'll be happier because she'll be able to REALLY hear us. So that is the news as of now. I don't know what time the surgery will be yet. They will call me the day before to tell me the time. They schedule them youngest to oldest and of course any emergencies before anyone. In the meantime, be praying for no more ear infections till then and for her Dr. during the surgery. We will then follow up with her 2 weeks after to make sure the tubes are doing alright. I have no pictures to leave you with today. However, tomorrow BOTH girls go to the dentist so I will take pictures. One of my dearest friends from Oklahoma City, Griffin is coming to spend the weekend with me. We are having a girls weekend AWAY from all children. Shopping, eating, and just hanging out. I can't wait. Until next time.
