Tubin'...and I don't mean the river!

The verdict is in and ear tubes are a must. Katie will be getting ear tubes on May 18th. We met with the ENT and had a hearing test. Because of the fluid in her ear she is not hearing very well. When they did the ear drum test she had basically zero vibration on her right ear drum. That is not good. It means that she is hearing things very muffled. Which means that her speech could be impaired if we do not get the tubes. She will keep them in for about 9 months and then we will see how she develops after that. The worst part is that because of the anesthesia she will not be able to eat after midnight before the surgery. Can you imagine not feeding a baby for over 2 hours after they wake up? It is going to be so hard! Not to mention having to sit there while she is getting all fixed up. But, I guess we have been through hard times with her before...so this is just another one of those things!

Here are some cute pics from this evening...this is what makes all the hard times worth it!
