Ear Tube Update

Here is a little update referring to Macyn's tubes that were put in on Friday. Everything went well, except she is always super crabby waking up from anesthesia. She was crying so hard that she was gasping for air. Poor thing! Anyways, I am more confident in our decision now to give her tubes again. She still had a tube in one of her ears so the plan was to remove that one, patch it, and give her a new tube. That is exactly what they did, except her ear drum was starting to grow around the tube that was still in her ear. The Dr. said that is very bad when that happens and was happy that we caught it early. They simply shaved down the part that was growing and patched it like normal. They then put a new tube in her ear in a different spot. She has quite a bit of "ooze" buildup (I'll spare you the more yucky description) but it will be taken care of through the use of drops. If there is any excess, they will remove it it next week at her check up. So far everything is going well. Just keeping our finger's crossed this is the last time she will need them!
