Our Little Trooper

Little Miss Em had to go in for surgery last Tuesday to have more tubes put in her ears and her adenoids taken out. After seeing the ENT several times this summer, he decided that it would be best to go ahead with the surgery. Her ears were consistently full of fluid all summer, and that is not the norm for her age. I was a little hesitant to go ahead with the surgery because she is still so young, but he felt it was necessary.
Afterwards, I am so glad that we decided to do it. Her doctor said that she was a mess! Her throat, ears and nose were all infected and full of junk. He put her on strong ear drops for five days and an antibiotic for 3 weeks. We are hoping this will help her feel better. He also wants her on allergy medicine year round. He thinks not only does she have allergies, but her problems are caused by her genetic make-up as well. Poor baby! She is such a trooper! You would never know she felt badly when you are around her.
I also have to brag on how she handled her blood draw before the surgery. We had to take her in the week before so they could take blood from her arm. Our sweet girl sat there, watched them draw the blood, and NEVER cried or even whimpered. She was amazing! She never cried after the surgery either. She amazes us....sweet girl!
