Ear Tubes

Jennifer did very well during her surgery today. She was rather grumpy afterward, but calmed down once we were home. Little Miss was giving them the what for when she woke up in recovery.

The doctor said there was a significant amount of puss in her ears. He drained it and put in the tubes. She has a thickening of the ear wall which is something he is going to keep a close eye on. He is not going to release Jennifer at her 2 week checkup as he does most patients. We will be finding out more about the ear wall thickening in two weeks.

She already seems to be feeling better. Jennifer has taken two naps in her bed, has noticed some noises she hasn't heard in awhile, laughed and played alot more and is now asleep in her bed for the night. There is quit a bit of bleeding and drainage but that is normal for the first 4 days. I hope this continues to give her relief!

So glad to hear she is able to nap and sleep in her bed now some rest for Mom. I know she is going to feel much better.
