After a lot of conflict with in us and fighting it for a year, we finally gave in.....
Romy has been prone to ear infections since she was a baby, initially it wasn't that often since she was at home and the idea of putting in tubes in her ears was not something we had given much thought to.
Once she went to River School (daycare) in September of 2011 part time she had 4 ear infections in 3 months and another thing we noticed that she had a continuous cold for 2 months in a row and after that she was always breathing from her nose. We were sent to an ENT by our pediatrician in January'12.
The ENT doctor recommended we get her tubes and also remove her adenoids for better breathing.
Since we were not keen on that he recommended we take her out of school and work with nasal saline sprays and nasonex. We did that and voila, her ear infections didn't occur and she was breathing better.
This September we put her back in River School and the ear infections were back and her cold and with that her breathing was getting very difficult thought her nose. We went back to the ENT and again he recommended the two surgeries.
This time we gave in.... it made sense... Romy was suffering....
Yesterday we had her surgeries, the Adenoid removal as well as putting the tubes in her ear. It was an outpatient surgery and after 3 hours in the recovery room we got home. She is in much better spirits today. Let's home the coming days are good and she is able to get back to school and the ear infections don't bother her anymore.
We love you my darling Romy and wish you recover real fast!
Love,
Mamma
