We have noticed for some time now that it seemed as if Rebecca couldn't always hear when we were talking to her and she always wanted the TV volume blasting. Not only was she having trouble hearing but she was also suffering from chronic ear infections. With all that was going on with her I finally asked her ped for a referral to the ENT. Our appointment was a Thursday afternoon and Dr. Ng was shocked at how bad her ears were. Literally one of her eardrums was "deflated" and laying against a bone in her ear canal and the other ear had an extreme amount of fluid on it. He scheduled her surgery for the very next day. Dr. Ng warned us that if it wasn't taken care of she could loose hearing in the ear that was worse. Yikes! Not to mention he said her hard of hearing was probably because all the fluid on her ears, the fluid would make it seem like she was underwater. Poor baby, I wish I knew sooner! Anyhow, Friday morning tubes went in, eardrum was inflated and Rebecca claims she is hearing better. I am looking forward to her post opp appointment to make sure everything is going well. She was a trooper and only wanted Daddy!
This was from her first surgery for her cleft palate and ear tubes...two things haven't changed, her love for Daddy...
and her love for her Doggies!
