Update from ENT appt.

So, yesterday Sarah had 2 doctor appts., both of which went well considering she didn't get a very long nap because of the timing of the appts. In the afternoon, she had her 2nd flu shot, and she was a little trooper for that. She hardly even cried. Then, after chicken nuggets, fries, fruit, and a short nap, we headed to the ENT. Mommy didn't cry...but came close to it. Daddy and mommy were both there, and basically the doctor says that it would be in Sarah's best interest to have the surgery to put tubes in her ears. It was his only recommendation. He did say we could wait 3 months to see what happens, but considering her last ear infection was 11/24 and now she has another on 1/5, the odds for waiting don't look good. Her ear infections are definitely stemming from air and drainage problems in her little eustachian tubes. The ear tubes will vent the middle ear and allow air to flow in and drainage out. Thus, it should help with infections. Stephen and I are still thinking about exactly what we are going to do, but we are leaning towards surgery. I will probably schedule it next week.
