Addison has had a few ear infections and in the past month a ruptured ear drum. Believe it or not, I had no idea she had an ear infection until the puss was coming out of ear!!!! Either she has the worst mother ever or a high pain tolerance. As soon as her ear drum burst, her speech improved ten fold. A few days later, we were back with her normal speech problems when another ear infection began.
So it has come down to Addison getting tubes in her ears to help with the fluid that she continually has behind her ears. I could not imagine having fluid constantly behind my ears and what that must feel like. In return, the ent thinks that the tubes will help with her speech as well.
Even though people tell me that the tube surgery is "no big deal", I still can't help the feeling of anxiousness as the surgery date approaches. Luckily, she will not have an iv but will use gas to put her under. Please pray for the surgery to go well and her recovery time to be short. Probably should throw in a prayer or two for mom and dad as well because we will be a nervous wreck!
Wednesday, February 9th, will be the day.

Ethan did the exact same thing, but his right ear drum ruptured TWICE! So we will go with high pain tolerance!!! The idea of putting him under was scary to us considering he was only 18 months old, but he did so well. He has had no other problem with his ears. Praying for all of you!
Oh man!! Poor little girl! Hopefully this will solve all those problems. I have so many friends with kiddos who have tubes and they say it makes a world of difference! It's of course always different when it's you kid going through it. I'm sure she will do great and hopefully mom and dad survive too. Hehe!! :-)
My sister had two kids with tubes. Her son was very young when he had it done. Maybe right at a year?? It made the biggest difference as far as ear infections. I totally understand the nervousness from putting her under. She will do great and keep us updated. We will say prayers for her and YOU! :)
I would be scared too! But hopefully it will make her feel better and help her speech. We will be praying for you on Wednesday!!
