Ear tubes on Dec. 5th

On Friday Anna and I were back at the pediatrician's office where she was diagnosed with another double ear infection. She's had infected ears for about 6 weeks now, so the pediatrician recommended we see an ear, nose & throat doctor as soon as possible. Over the weekend Anna seemed to be in pain and rubbed at her ears a lot. We saw the ENT first thing this morning. Anna's infection has improved a little but both ears still have fluid in them. The doctor said that Anna would be a good candidate for ear tubes and we decided to go ahead with them. Anna has had some loss of hearing in each ear but it should return to normal after the procedure. Although we hate the idea of our little girl having to go under anesthesia and have surgery, we are very relieved that there is an end in sight. We've had it with the antibiotics (Anna started her 4th course on Friday) and we're ready for Anna to start feeling lots better. Here is some information about the procedure she is having.
