For the last couple of months our little Ashley suffered from an ear infection that wouldn't go away. We tried three different antibiotics but none of them seemed to work. She absolutely hated the stuff. Half of it would end up on her bib because of her trying to spit it all out. The worst part of it was the
diaria and diaper rash it gave her. The poor thing was fussing and crying all the time, always holding her ears. She couldn't sleep at night either. I was getting up 4-10 times a night with her. Finally i decided enough is enough and called a Ear, Nose and Throat doctor. The Dr. said she would need to have tubes put in her ears. The tubes will help the
fluids drain out of her ear preventing further infections. She will probably need to have these in until she is about 3 yrs old.
On Monday we went in bright and early (5:45 am) for her surgery. We basically had to wait 2 hrs. for a 5 minute procedure. The saddest thing was right after surgery when they brought her in to me. The
anesthesia does something weird to kids and my poor girl was crying the saddest cry
I've ever heard. Nothing i could do would comfort her. Not even feeding her. :(
By the time we got home she was asleep and doing well.
We are so excited for this ear infection drama to be over.
She seems to be doing great now!
