On Friday, we went to the ear, nose and throat doctor for Ryder's follow-up appointment for when he had his tonsils and adenoids evicted and tubes inserted. While there, we decided to take advantage of the opportunity and have the doc check out Payton's ears, as she's had a plethora of ear infections this winter/spring, on top of all her respiratory issues.
This doctor is really hard to get into -- she's a top-notch doctor here in Boise -- her name is Dr Beck if anyone is looking to have any work done in the ENT region. Anyway, as I said, Payton's ears have really been bothering her lately and when the doc peeked in there, she could understand why. Both ear drums were bulging, on the verge of rupturing, hence the irritation in her ears. Poor girl, she has been through so much!
They scheduled an appointment for this morning to have tubes put in her ears. We went in, she fell asleep in my arms, the doctor carried her back still asleep (it was so precious), they gave her some anesthetics via an oxygen mask, inserted the tubes, she woke up (not the happiest camper, a little disoriented from the anesthesia wearing off), but then about an hour or so later it was like nothing happened.
So, here's to a healthier, happier and more comfortable little girl!
