Ella's surgery went great! She was really brave, she didn't even cry when they took her away. The worst part was that she couldn't eat or drink. It broke my heart when she was begging for a drink of water....it was the saddest thing ever. It didn't help with Kash running around, grabbing sippy cups and snacks out of the diaper bag right in front of her! The promise of an ice cream cone afterwards really helped I think! She really must be my daughter if the thought of a treat makes everything worth it. When we were able to see her she was totally fine. She was eating a cookie as happy as could be. One of the first things she said to me was, "my ears feel better!" The doctor said it was probably the first time she felt some relief, like her ears popped for the first time in her life. I feel so bad that she has been in pain for so long. I think she really got used to the pain, it was just a part of life. The rest of the day she was 100% her old self. Hopefully this will be the end of her ear problems. I am excited to see her hearing and speech improve because she has heard everything as if she was under water. I am so glad this day is over!

I am dealing with my maya's ear infection and it is awful. it's going to be so nice for the both of you that her ears feel better.
What has to happen for them to get tubes put in?
I am so glad everything went well for her! I bet that was hard. She is so cute and I hope she is feeling much better. Ellie and I are excited for her birthday party!
oh that is so good! What a trooper. It's sad when you don't know what they are feeling- Good thing it's over right? The fear of the unknown is the worst part!
