...TUBES! He took one look in her ears and said that without a doubt, she NEEDS them. She has had too many and the severity of her infections has worn her poor little ears out. They need to get in there and clean everything out. It is almost like the top layer (on the inside, not exactly sure what it is called) has worn away, leaving almost like a burning sensation when she gets infections, or like when you have an infection on your skin, it takes away that top layer.
Because of how bad they are, he pushed for surgery, ASAP. Normally it takes a couple of weeks to get them in, but he wants it done now, so Lola will more than likey have tubes put in her ears this Friday! It is a 10 minute procedure and recovery is pretty quick, however, she will have to be put under. This is not new to Lola, as she had an MRI and was put under a little after 7 months. That will be the hardest part, as it is so sad to see her come out of the anesthesia. Nothing worse than a crying baby, and you can't do anything about it. I just want this done and over with and then hopefully we will have fewer issues with her ear infections.
Any advice from mommies that have had babies with tubes would be greatly appreciated!

Poor little Lola- so wonder things have been so painful.
A little boy at Camden's day care has tubes & they've seemed to help. He's 2 now & hasn't had any problems since he got them.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you...
Oh Jenni I am so very sad for little Lo. I know this is very common for babies now-a-days, but as a mommy it is hard to see your own have to go through this. I wish there was something more I could do or say. It has to help or they wouldn't be doing it. "Done and over with" is the right way to look at it. She will be feeling better in no time. Then this can all be over with!!
