We had our ENT appointment today. Audrey's ear situation isn't too bad, but the doctor (who I think is, like, 15 years old) said that we are at a point where we have to make a choice. The other option is to keep putting her on stronger antibiotics, which may lead to ear damage/hearing problems/speech problems if she keeps getting really bad infections. So, I decided to go with the tubes.
She saw an audiologist before we saw the doctor and because she has noninfected fluid in her ears right now, her hearing range is slightly below normal. She said that Audrey can hear everything we are saying, but it sounds muffled to her. Audrey had her laughing because she was talking to the stuffed animals in the room throughout the whole ear test!
It was quickly approaching nap time by the time we saw Doogie Howser, but she was a little angel for him. He thought she was very mature for her age (he has obviously never seen her throw a tantrum in the middle of Babies R Us).
So, now I'm waiting for the surgery coordinator to call me back to get everything set up. Keep Audrey in your prayers that everything goes okay. Her mommy is a wee bit nervous about putting her under anesthesia.
