We met with a great pediatric ENT (ear, nose, throat) doctor today. He was able to squeeze us in with only a 3 day notice. Our last ENT appointment that was canceled on Monday took us 2 months to get in! The doctor we met with today was extremely nice and left the decision up to us if we wanted to get ear tubes on Tuesday. If we wanted to go ahead he would make the time and be there even though it is VERY short notice and if he couldn't for any reason he promised that his partner would be there.

Even though Savannah's ear infection has resolved she still has some fluid in the ear. They did a vibration test and her ear drum would not vibrate. So we made the decision to go ahead with the tubes. The doctor believed that she would eventually need tubes and we don't want for her to undergo surgery two separate times if she doesn't have to. So we are currently on the count down to surgery which is scheduled for Tuesday at 12:30pm. The ENT will place the tubes and then her surgeon with come in and repair her palate. Overall, she should be out of surgery in approximately two hours.

I just want it to be done and over with already!!!
