The ENT visit

We are way to familiar with doctor's appointments. This week between Alex and I we went to 4 appointments and I have another next week. Anyway, the ENT visit went well. He was super nice. He was very straightforward and gave us the risk of tubes. Wes and I had decided to have the surgery before the visit and nothing the doctor said changed our minds. We just want Alex to stop suffering...and she still has fluid in her left ear and some in the right even though she has been on antibiotics since Wednesday. Next step is for us to schedule surgery for her. The surgery sounds easy peasy. She won't be able to eat the day of the surgery but since she is young she will be one of the first appointments. The recovery will be about 30 minutes in the hospital and then we can take her home. So that is our plan...more surgery...

In spite of having these ear aches and diarrhea, Alex still is a pretty happy baby. This week, I had a co-worker come from South Africa and he brought this animal for her. She loves it. It makes noise and she just giggles. She is a trooper!!

We hope she gets the surgery soon. We just ache everytime we read about another ear infection. At least you know she is a trooper so you should have no worries about her recovery.
