Anna has been struggling with ear infections off and on since she turned 3. This most recent one has been hanging around since Christmas. Yes Christmas! She has been on five different antibiotics to try and get rid of it. She has some "bad plumbing" and large adenoids according to her ENT, so any time she gets congested it leads to an ear infection because the congestion can't drain. So, on April 8th, Anna had her adenoids taken out and tubes put in her ears. She was such a brave girl and looking forward to eating some popsicles and watching cartoons after the procedure, cause that is what Dr. Hanson told her she should do. She was given some versaid to help her relax and make the separation from Mommy and Daddy a whole lot easier (which it did, no tears). Matt and I got some good laughs from her extra silliness due to the meds. They took her in a red wagon and off she went (tears from Mommy at this point). Twenty-five minutes later Dr. Hanson came to tell us she was done and did great. He took care of her "juicy" ears and removed her adenoids. It took her a little bit to come out of the anesthesia, but once she did she was ready for popsicle #1. She went on to have popsicle #2 and #3 later in the day. She got to pick out two new movies, got some new outfits from Pop and Grandy, flowers from Daddy and took it easy the rest of the day. She said at one point in the day, "Mom, I like these tubes in my ears." I don't know if she can tell a difference with the tubes, or if she just likes the extra special treatment that went along with it!
