April 14th
Is the day Beatrice has her surgery to have tubes put in her ears. I am not looking forward to it. I am very upset. We went to the doctor yesterday and he said, "There's really nothing more that I can do since you've already tried all these antibiotics. It's not like I have some kind of miracle medicine to make her ears better." Stupid me, I was totally thinking that he did! Later that night I tried telling my Mom and Dad about it on the phone, and I just broke down and started crying. I know, I know I'm over dramatic. And I know that if this is the worse thing that ever happens to her we're good. I am thankful for that. I just didn't realize what the whole tubes-in-the ears process was until I read up on it yesterday before going to the doctor and I just didn't like it. They have to put Bea under! That's the main part that got me. I just don't want to see her like that. And of course I can't help but wonder if she'll be a teeny bit different after the whole thing. My Mom suggested that I get a second opinion to make me feel a little better. I was thinking that that's a good idea... but then is it? She's had this since December and nothing has worked! Do I want to dick around any longer with other medicines that may or may not work? I guess I'll just call and see.

I know a few mommies who have kids with tubes in their ears and they said it was no biggie!! I'm thinking after a few months of antibiotics, what more is there? but second opinions are always good. just do it soon, so if the tubes are necessary you can keep the appt!!
I also know a couple of mom's that have little ones that had to have tubes in their ears. Both of them said they noticed a big difference for the better right away. I can only imagine that she will become even more of a social butterfly because she will be able to ear much more clearly.
Poor Bebe. That sucks that she has to go through a surgery to fix the problem. I'm sure she'll be fine, but I can see why that would be stressful for you. Have you decided on getting a second opinion?
