I took Anna Bell to the ENT (ear,nose, & throat) doctor for a follow-up visit last week. She had battled an on-going ear infection, so our pediatrician referred us to the specialist. Unfortunately, our precious little girl STILL has the ear infection! She has basically had the same infection since Christmas. Antibiotics weren't really helping, so she hasn't been on any since January. The doctor said that if you or I were in the same pain that she is, we'd be rushing to the doctor and begging him to fix it! She has just adapted and gotten used to her ears always hurting! So sad! Anyways, the doc has decided that tubes are the best option. We go for two pre-op visits this week and Anna Bell will have the surgery next Tuesday. Thankfully, it is a routine procedure that only takes about 5 minutes. She will be under anesthetic, so that's the part that makes me a little anxious. I'm glad to know that this should solve the problem without antibiotics, but still sad that she has to have surgery!

Aww, poor little AnnaBell. We'll pray for her...and you. both my sister's boys and countless other's friend's kids have had tubes too and have all been extremely grateful they did it. You'll both do great!
Ellie had tubes at 13 months and it was a breeze - much worse for me than it was for her! But, it was amazingly easy and I shouldn't have been so worked up about it. Ellie has yet to have another ear infection.
So sad! Ella had tubes in at 13 months after battling chronic EI for several months too...and she is yet to have another one since...over a year now! I remember the scariness of the anesthesia =( We'll pray that everything is uneventful and AnnaBell will get quick relief.
So sad, but I hope it makes it all better and that she won't have to deal with the ear infections. I wonder sometimes when Anna is teething so badly if I could just know how bad it is really hurting her. I will pray for her.
We'll be praying for you, Anna Bell, (and Mom and Dad). I had two sets of tubes before I was 2 years old, and I don't remember any of it, if that's any consolation!
How's AnnaBell doing? Hope you're all well!
