Round 2

So last week Andi had her 2nd ear infection in a month. Wait, didn't she have tubes put in a year ago? Why, yes she did. . . thing is they only last about a year and then they fall out. The hope is that at the end of that year the kids ears will start functioning as they should and the problem will be solved. Not for Andi. Here is a picture of her sitting patiently while I clean the gunk out of her ears so we can put her drops in.


So back to the ENT we went on Tuesday and he said the next step is another round of tubes and taking the adenoids out, but the added problem is that her tonsils are huge, like if she opens her mouth wide enough you can see them across the room huge. And if they take the adenoids out her tonsils will get bigger, and then they will have to come out too. So hey, let's do it all in one shot! That's right, at 2 Andi is going in for her second surgery, and it's gonna be a doozy. But after that her ear and throat problems should be resolved for good.
Anyway, on a fun note, her new favorite toy is Thad's RC Car. Here she is with Daddy taking George for a spin.

Oh man! Poor little girl. She has been through it all. I guess once you get through this though, it will be LOTS better. Good luck with that.

Ok I started writing my comment and then realized it sounded a lot like Shannon's...we must be sisters. I'm so sorry she has to go through all of that and hope it makes everything much better. She must be tough like her mom.
