Kaylee's Tube Surgery

Kaylee had tubes put in this morning (just one), and we just got home, yay! It was a quick chain of events. She has had an ear infection for a while, so we wanted her 6-month checkup bumped up so her ENT doctor could see if anything was serious. So we went in Tuesday for her checkup and he recommend a tube again in her good ear and wanted to do it today (Thursday). She handled it pretty good. The doc was able to see better in her bad ear this time since she has grown, so he was able to see more of what parts were missing. She does not have a middle ear cleft bone, so basically that means there is no air gap where a tube can fit into between her top and bottom inner bones. She probably will never get ear infections in that ear since fluid can't pass through with no air gap. So I guess that is a good thing, right? Back in a month for more hearing tests. Poor girl.

Her normal left ear had a ton of fluid in it so when he made the incision to put the tube in, he said the fluid gushed out. Maybe that would explain why she has been up in the middle of the night so many times crying for the past few weeks. Anyways, we are thankful that is over with and her ears should start feeling a little better. She's been in such a great mood since we got home, so she must be feeling better. And she can hear 10x better now that her ears are without fluid in them, which makes Mom and Dad happy.

And here are some latest videos of the girls. Makenna is walking really good now and it's quite fun to watch. It seemed like it all just happened so fast.


It was black and white day at daycare yesterday, in case you were wondering, :)
