Yep. Sweet Carolina had tubes put in this past Thursday. Having five ear infections before you are nine months old will do that to ya! She did great - the worst part was ME having to get to the hospital by 6:00 a.m. (Have I ever mentioned I'm not a morning person?)
When we got back to the waiting area and let her crawl around on the bed, she went CRAZY! She was spinning around and was pulling up on the
side rails constantly. Then, the nurse came and gave her some "elixir" as they called it (
Motrin and a little
somethin' else ;) and she became much calmer . . .
Here she is pretty relaxed while we are waiting.
I'm so glad that we went on and got her tubes - Lawton had them at 20 months and they helped him a lot. (Chad actually had two sets of tubes when he was little, so I'm not sure that this is our last surgery with our
ENT!) The doctor said that her right ear (the one that has given her most of the trouble) had lots of thick, glue like fluid in it - so she is bound to feel (and hear) better! Now, I wonder if she will become more annoyed at Lawton now that she can hear more clearly how loud he really is! Time will tell! :)

sweet precious baby. glad it went smoothly. and is it just as me or is there something pathetically cute about the baby hospital gowns?
She looks so cute in her little hospital gown. Happy to hear that everything went so well.
I was able to move my blogspot. It is now at www.alittletimeout.blogspot.com. I didn't have your email address to pass it along.
she looks so adorable in her little hospital gown. glad she did so well. we may be there with lilly before too long...she has fluid that just won't clear up and i don't think she can hear me too well lately either. we go back in a few weeks to see if she needs tubes or not. you made me feel better about it. carolina is such a cutie!
i also know what you mean about getting places that early. it is a major struggle for me--i mean, i probably would have had to sleep in my clothes to get there at 6:00!
awwww..she looks so precious in her little hospital gown. I'm glad it's over, and I'm glad it went well!
That gown is sooo cute! They didn't put either of mine in gowns for their procedures! Glad it went well & hopefully she'll be on the upside of ear stuff!
That's a lot of ear infections for a baby. It's probably good that she could go ahead and get the tubes put in!
You were so smart to take pix of that! So cute! We never did (all 3 times). Glad it went well & maybe she won't ever have another ear infection!
