tapped out

We finally waved the white flag.

A week after leaving the ENT I had to take Morgan back to the pediatrician. She was so stuffy that she could barely breath. When I was told that she had another double ear infection I was done. We were sent home with another antibiotic and an appointment with the ENT for a follow up
.
Last week was torture. Morgan got a fever starting on Easter Sunday and it didn't break until Wednesday. These pictures were taken Monday afternoon right after I put her in the bathtub because she was burning up. Even with a fever she manages to look laid back. But don't be fooled. She wasn't sleeping and just wanted to be held.
Friday we went to see Dr. M again. It may sound mean, but I'm really glad that she was still so sick when we went to see him. She was so stuffy and both ears were still infected. I really wanted him to see what we've been dealing with since January 19th. He advised us to go ahead and put the tubes in her ears. At this point we feel it is the best option.
The surgery is scheduled for next Thursday, the 22nd. She'll be under anesthesia for about 10 minutes while they put in the tubes. Time in to time out is about an hour. She'll probably sleep most of the afternoon and be back to herself the next day. They tell us that she should never feel them once they are in. I'm looking forward to having my healthy, happy baby girl back.
