Kaitlyn Is Getting Tubes

Kaitlyn finally saw the ear-nose-throat specialist this week and she definitely needs tubes. Her surgery is scheduled for October 25 and of course I'm much more concerned than she is ;) They will be putting her under which is the scariest part of all of it. And I have no idea what this means as far as care. I was going to schedule her for mom-tots swimming lessons but now I don't know if she's even allowed in the water.

We'll be at the hospital most of the day as Kaitlyn's surgery is at 6:45 and Ryan's ultrasound to confirm or not confirm his probable gallstones is later in the day at the hospital. Should be a long day.

Anyways, here are a couple pictures of our princess - the first at the hockey game and the next showing she does have hair that can support clips (finally!). Please excuse the runny nose - another condition which will hopefully be fixed by the tubes.

Even though it is a scary thing ... the idea is to fix the problem and will make life for her and you easier! All the best for that lovely day at the hospital ... Hopefully soon you will all be feeling better!!!

Just wanted to de-lurk for a moment... Nate got ear tubes when he was 9 months old and he didn't have to wear ear plugs when swimming in chlorinated water. In fact he is a fish and swam all summer and his tubes looked great at his 6 month re-check.

Hope the tubes help! It was a huge help in our house!
