I'm all EARS....
About three weeks ago we noticed Millie had been coughing for a few days so we took her to the doctor. She was acting normal but we found out that she not only had a sinus infection but she also had ANOTHER ear infection. We had tubes put in her ears, like two years ago? The tubes had made their way out and the ear doctor said she was good to go... so what's happening now!? What is the point of having ear tubes put in if your ear is just gonna push them out and grow back the way it was originally!? Why does the body do that? Anyways... the pediatrician gave her some meds and a follow up appointment for three weeks. Yesterday was the follow up appointment and guess what!? Yup. Her ears STILL look bad! The doctor gave her different meds and also said I should book another follow up appointment in three weeks with her ear doctor. She said: "I just don't know if she's hearing very well." Great. Thanks. I do not want to do the ear tubes again. I hated that. Seeing her in her little hospital gown. The nurses taking her away from me so they can put her to sleep alone. And then Millie waking up from her drug induced sleep crying and inconsolable. AND to top it off we can't leave the facility until she pees. It doesn't sound hard, but when she hasn't eaten all day and they give her a juice box which she has no interest in drinking AFTER the operation... it's not fun. In fact we fibbed a little the last time because we just wanted to get her out of there. I really hope these new meds work.
