Surgery

So we just got back from Emma's ENT appointment: the good news is that her hearing is great, the bad news is that we need ear tubes & adenoids removed. Emma is having chronic sinus, eye, & ear infections. We are recovering from her third one since June & about 5 this year total. She has been on some pretty powerful antibiotics & we are all concerned about her developing resistance to them. We also thought she was developing pneumonia again & is going on ANOTHER antibiotic so she can have surgery next week. It is scary to think how many rounds of them we have been on already. As the doctor explained the adenoids are like a sponge & compared them to our kitchen sponge. YUCK if you think about what grows on those things :( He also cultured her to see if she has a super resistant bug living in her sinuses.

The good news in this is that we should have less infections. Also we are going back to strictly pediatrics for the procedures. We had her lacrimal duct probing there last year & were very happy with them.
