Ainslie's tubes... if only I meant TUBE TOPS.

Ainslie went to the E.N.T. last week after finishing her 6th round of antibiotics since late June for chronic ear infections. Last Tues. the Dr. recommended her for tubes and told me that even though she just finished antibiotics on Thurs, that she has some clear fluid in her right ear.
By yesterday -- even though there was no sign of fever -- Ainy Poo started tuggin' on both ears and running into things. So, I made a precautionary, "Let's go see Dr. Broussard before you get sick over Thanksgiving weekend and there is not much we can do about it" visit yesterday.

Low and behold -- double ear infection, again -- less than a week later. Guh. So, at least we went and now she's on antibiotics AGAIN, and we hope she'll be well enough at her Pre-Op on the 4th and make it to surgery on the 11th, so we can get it over before baby boy comes on the 22 and Christmas shortly after. (Yes, people, my plate is full!)

Please pray that her ears clear up enough to get her tubes -- and then hopefully on to healthy and happy times. Brian's only fear is that with her equilibrium back to normal she might be even BETTER at climbing things like the couch and the dinning room table. Guh!

Ear infections are the worst. Good news is the tubes will make a HUGE difference and she will feel so much better. Surgery is no fun, but it'll go fast... hang in there and good luck!
