I have not talked about Sarah Kate's health too much lately, but she has continued to have ear infections since October. In fact, she has had five and has been on SEVEN antibiotics. We have continued to see the Dr. every week or two. We FINALLY got referred to an ENT and saw him on Monday. He said her ears were terrible and scheduled her for ear tubes this morning. Her ears have had so much thick fluid, that it was not able to drain and just continued to get one infection after the other. Her sleeping has been HORRIBLE! She has had about 50% hearing.We are soooooooo THANKFUL she got these tubes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The worst part about today was that she could not have anything to eat or drink. She is like me, she loves to eat and she does not miss a meal. Of course she woke up asking for her milk. Then when we got to the surgery center we had to wait......
and wait..........................
and wait...............they pulled out all the tricks: t.v. with cartoons, a wagon.............
Steve took a few hours off to be with us. We took Emily because it was just the easiest thing to do this morning. She was great!
Here I am holding SK in the recovery room. They said she was good....(it was probably like wrestling a bear.)
She was so glad to get home and eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her eyes are still a little puffy here.
I promised Emily a special treat if she was good at the hospital. Hillary had brought her this cupcake sucker. Thanks Hillary, you saved the day!
