Kailee had her appointment with the ENT this afternoon. Our suspicion was correct-she is a great candidate for tubes. We are scheduled for next Thursday, 6/30.
One of our concerns is that we are scheduled to leave (driving, not flying) for vacation shortly thereafter. It was recommended that we have the procedure done before leaving due to the fact that she still has fluid (it's been over 1 week) on one ear and we don't want her infection to continue or for another one to develop while we are away.
She will not have to undergo general anesthesia which is a relief. The procedure itself only takes about 15 minutes and we will be home within an hour or two after that.
This procedure will *hopefully* provide much relief for our poor baby.

Lucky baby! Naomi had to get tubes and she had anesthesia. Lucky for me - I knew both the Ear Nose and Throat and the anesthesiologist personally which really helped. I felt like they were taking care of their own. Better news was no ear infections after that! YEA!!! That was almost 2 years ago now.
