nervousness....

Some of you already know but for those of you who don't....I took Addie in to the E.N.T( ear, nose, and throat) doc on Friday. We talked for a bit before he checked her out. He was a very nice guy...his breath was HORRIBLE, and the pants he was wearing, corduroy purple and orange pants that would change colors when he moved.. I will never forget. Maybe it's to entertain the kids. But serious now...He asked a few questions about her and how she speaks, then he looked in her ears with a VERY LARGE thing..pretty sure is a "Otoscope" , but right away his reaction explained it...he looked back and said "yeah she just can't really hear you". He said she hears like her ears are plugged to under water. Over half of her middle ear is full of fluid, and said if we wait any longer then her hearing would just get worse, and her speech will get delayed more. He decided that we should do tubes ASAP, so we go in tomorrow at 8:45 am. She can't eat or drink anything from now on..He said the surgery only lasts 10 minutes, and it shouldn't be a big deal but HELLO I am a MOM,,,,so I get to freak out about this stuff but they put her completely to sleep. I think that is why a bit nervous, I just don't really know how she is going to react to everything before, after, just the whole thing. I'll let everyone know what happens..We hope you all had a great weekend!
