oh, those ears...

unfortunately, we found out on monday that ally will have tubes put in her ears on april 17. i finally made an appointment with children's hospital, ENT department this past monday. it has been way overdue, not sure why i waited so long, i guess the same reasons most parents wait it out, but now that it is officialy scheduled and ally will no longer have ear infection after ear infection - i am ok with it all.
it is a quick process for these little ones - only 5 minutes, but the fact that she will be under some powerful drugs makes me a little uneasy.
we are asking that everyone say a little prayer that all will be ok and that little miss allyson will be better off with tubes which will drain out the fluid.

other than that, ally is full of life and a blast to hang with. she is picking up something new everyday and never ceases to amaze keith and i. tonight we played house in her kitchen and fed her baby dolls -- i remember dreaming of the day that i could interact with her like this and it is finally here, so i am all about soaking it up while i can!

Oh Michelle! Poor Ally.....I am sure that she will be fine but I know it is worrisome until it is over! I hope that makes her feel better! Kendall has only had 1 ear infection and I felt horrible the whole time so I can only imagine how it has been for you guys!

it has been a long slow road for ally. i truly believe this will definitely make things easier for her and us of course.
i am just at my wits end with antibiotics and such. i just want her to be healthy and happy like she deserves to be :) thanks for the kind words!
