ROUND 2-Tubes & Tear Ducts

As many of you might know or I think I have posted before. Kennedy had tubes put in her ears and her tear ducts opened back in January. Well since that surgery we have been going to check ups at the ENT.It seemed that her right ear tube was clogged. So after months of revisits and ear sound checks we decided to do tubes again. As if that wasn't enough, her eyes started watering really bad again. So last week Kennedy went back to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and we redid both. The ENT said that her right ear had completely kicked her tube out and the ear drum had closed back up. Basically it was just hanging out in there. The left ear tube was starting to work its way out. The eye doctor put 2 stints in her tear ducts to keep them open. We have to go back in 8 weeks to get them taken out. The doctors said some children's bodys react this way. The body does not like foreign objects and rejects them. Anyways, it was so hard putting her to sleep again. I loose it every time. She had a harder time coming out of the anethsia this time too. I think since they had to put her alseep for a tad bit longer. She was not a happy camper. We came home and she pretty much slept all day. She had a runny bloody nose and some bruising under her eyes, but by the next day she was fine. So far everything seems to be working. (fingers crossed) She is such a little trooper and is never unhappy. We are so blessed that this is the most of our worry's. Childrens Healthcare is great. We are fortunate to be so close to an excellent pediatric hospital!
