Carolyn’s PE tubes

Due to having 4 ear infections in 3.5-4 months they decided to send her to ENT.  The ENT said to wait until March to see if her fluid cleared up.  When we went two weeks ago her ears were still full of fluid with no movement.  SO basically she was hearing everything muffled and had constant fluid.  He said we could wait, but he didn’t think we would see any change in her ears.  So we scheduled the surgery for PE tubes that next Thursday.  On St. Patrick’s Day I took Carolyn in to the surgery center in her frog pj’s at 0730 and around 8 she went back for her tubes.  I could hear her screaming in recovery down the hall when she was starting to wake up.  Not because she was in pain, but because she was out of it and didn’t know what was going on.  She was screaming until I got her home and fed her.  She ate and then sat in the swing to watch cartoons, and within 15 minutes she had fallen asleep and was snoring happily.  She woke up a totally different Carolyn.  She has been in a good mood 95% of the time since she woke up.  That’s 3 days of good moods.  CRAZY!  She is doing awesome, and we go back in 4 weeks to make sure everything is going well with the tubes. 

YAY for a Happy pain free Carolyn!!!
