I Hear Ya!

Sophia got her tubes put in on Friday morning and she is doing SO well. We weren't really sure how it was affecting her hearing. She would respond to us when we talked to her, but the last month or so, she was screaming at the top of her lungs and going out to dinner was a NIGHTMARE!!! I was able to go and see her right after her surgery and the fabulous nurse brought Sophia a Popsicle. She even put a soda lid underneath it so that it wouldn't drip all over her. Well, Sophia wanted to hold the soda lid and not the Popsicle stick. She threw a HUGE fit because she couldn't hold it. The nurse was really worried that she was in pain, but we had to reassure her that she was fine, just royally upset. She threw a huge fit in the car on the way home, but was fine by the time we got home. We went out to lunch on Saturday afternoon and she did so well! Jason and I talked about she must not have been able to hear really well. The doctor told Jason that the mucus that they took out of her ears was the consistency of rubber cement. She is super happy and is doing really well right now!

Heart and Ears

It's been awhile, I know and I do have some updates, but not pictures!! We have had three different types of doctors appointments in the last week and we have been give tons of information.
First, we took Sophia in last Monday to see an ENT because of her recurrent ear infections. The doctor told us they typically give kids tubes after 5-6 ear infections in a calendar year, Sophia has had nine! She had just gotten over an ear infection and she had some fluid in her ears. They wanted to wait and talk to Dr. Wellman before they scheduled the surgery to make sure he thought she would be okay with it. Coincidentally we saw Dr. Wellman on Thursday and I was on pins and needles. It was Sophia's first cardiology appointment since her angioplasty. First off, we were able to get both of her blood pressures right away and they were the lowest I have ever seen them! (In a good way) She really fought us for the echo even though Gabi was there, had a princess movie on, and she was on my lap. Either way, her heart looks great and Dr. Wellman was very happy with her results...I think that is the first time Dr. Wellman was happy with what he has seen on her echo.
Then today we saw Dr. Penman, we are done with synagis, but I wanted her to be seen just to make sure that she doesn't have an ear infection. The good news is that she doesn't have an ear infection, bad news is that she still has fluid in her ears. So I will keep phoning the ENT office and see if they will ever schedule her appointment.
