Ear tubes tomorrow morning

I got the long awaited call, it seems it was worth while pushing to be on the cancellation list...

Fi's surgery is tomorrow morning.

I have noticed since about mid- October that her hearing was down again (She passed hearing test in August). Hearing test confirmed in November that she had moderate bilateral hearing loss. 45 dB both sides. Saw ENT first week of Dec and it took until now after numerous phone calls to get the surgery. I don't think this is too bad. So, wish us luck. No more liquids past 5 AM...

She has been learning so many words lately, I am so excited to see how her speech will pick up even more post surgery.

  1. I hope it went well. I'll bet she saw a difference immediately.

    1. Hi, yes, there was lots of thick fluid in her Eustachian tubes. She already repeats things a lot clearer and has even more words now. The interesting thing is how it seems to impact the little 2-word sentences...
