Evelyn had her "myringotomy with tube insertion" this morning--that is, she had tubes put in her ears. Despite my worries (the risk notice on the anesthesia is always alarming), everything went smoothly. She woke up extremely cranky from the anesthesia and cried uncontrollably for about fifteen minutes, but I'm told that is normal. She's home now, getting ready for a nap (actually, trying to climb on the computer, which is about as normal as her behavior can get), and we are extremely grateful that everything went well. Even if it is the most common surgical procedure for small children. The doctor reported that her ears were pretty bad--lots of fluid and mucus and pus--so it's a good thing she had the surgery when she did.
Hopefully now she will start sleeping through the night, now that all the ear pressure is removed!
We'll keep you posted.
