Many of you know we've had trouble with Livi's ears for the past couple of months. After 5 rounds of different antibiotics, including daily shots for a while, we all made the decision it was time for tubes. I struggled with the decision, but after testing of her hearing revealed moderate hearing loss, I knew it was best for her. So on Tuesday, we loaded her up for an early morning surgery at Children's. The pics are backwards again-- I know what I did wrong but don't have the energy to fix it!
Here she is post-op...bottle's empty and she's ready to go home!

Daddy with his girl...he was pretty nervous too!
Pre-op, waiting to go back. She was actually a very happy baby, especially considering she hadn't eaten in 10 hours. However, when she did fuss, it was "mamamamamamama". Guess she knows where her bread is buttered!
In the waiting room after we arrived. Such a happy girl!
And at the house just prior to leaving.
So surgery went very well. She had really thick, glue-like pus behind both ears, and we've been giving antibiotic drops the last few days. She's happy, smiling, and talking more than before surgery. We go back for follow up in early July, and they'll retest her hearing then. The hope is that she couldn't hear well because of the pus, and now it'll be all fixed. I'll keep you updated!
