Baby girl has spent half of her little life with ear infections. She has had 5 double ear infections in her short little life, and we had gotten pretty good at detecting them. Our pediatrician referred us to an ENT, and he said this was a clear case of a girl in desperate need of some tubes! Bless her poor heart...she failed 3 out of 4 hearing tests in BOTH ears! We're thinking this now explains why she doesn't really say any words at 11 months.
We got surgery scheduled, and today we went to have it done. I have been VERY anxious for the past week or so thinking about this surgery. I know that this is as routine as a c-section these days and these doctors do a million of these a day, but there's still nothing that can quite prepare you for your baby being put under anesthesia. Ironic thing (or more like God speaking), our small group just watched a lesson on fear. One of the things talked about in the lesson was how the things you fear the most are the areas in which you trust God the least. This really hit me hard because I fear losing my children on a way too often basis! I kept praying for God to take this fear from me and replace it with the peace that only He can give. We went in, and I could feel all the thoughts and prayers being lifted then. Lilly did great, and the surgery went off without a hitch. It's amazing how God gives us those "slap in the face" moments when you realize He really does have control. Thankful for a successful and uneventful surgery and hoping our Little Boo can finally hear and get some relief!
