Well, Friday morning at 4:00 - Grace came to me to say that her ear was sore, so on Friday after I posted to the blog I phoned the ENT and asked if we could come in. They squeezed her in, and sure enough - more fluid, another infection. So she was clear for all of 4-6 weeks. Gross, heh? Anyway, he doesn't see any hope in more antibiotics clearing it up, since it has never in the past, so he recommends we go for tubes.
I hate the idea of her going through surgery, but I hate the idea of her being in constant pain, on antibiotics all the time, and not being able to hear properly even more so we are going that route. She went for her ear molds today for her custom fitted ear plugs...and wouldn't you know it they called to give us her surgery date as well. So she goes next Tuesday. She has to be at the hospital at 6:45 a.m. and she should be home by noon! Weird, heh?
Here she is getting the molds done - at Eastside Audiology
See all the purple goop in her ears?
This is what the inside of Grace's ears looks like!
See all the purple goop in her ears? This is what the inside of Grace's ears looks like!She is excited...a little nervous, but mostly excited. She LOVES Dr. Ogrady (or Dr. Gravy as Amelia calls him) - so she is just happy she will be seeing him again! LOL!!!
So last Friday Abbey saw her pediatrician, then Grace went to the ENT (Dr. Gravy), and today Olivia had a filling at the dentist and Grace went to be fitted for her ear plugs. Thursday Abbey has an appointment with the cardiologist and next week Monday is another dentist visit for Olivia, and Tuesday is Grace's ear surgery. Do I have it all straight? Jeesh! I guess when it rains it pours! Am I ever glad we live in a country where we have all of these doctors - but it does seem to happen all at once.
Anyway, here are a few other pictures I took today of my crazy kids!

Emmalee has had tubes put it, and adenoids out. She did fine. It's hard to watch when they are coming out of surgery, but it goes fast and they sleep alot! We go to East Side Audiolgy too! She's nice, makes the kids feel comfortable! What colour did Grace get?
Your girls are so pretty by the way, just thought i'd mention that! As if you didn't already know that ;)
