Tomorrow we are scheduled to be placing ear tubes in each ear. We are to arrive by 7:30am. The surprise with this procedure is I was advised to not leave after they take her back to be put under because they will be finished in ten minutes. That is amazing yet disturbing at the same time. So much preparation - doctor visits, hearing screenings, more visits, preop visit, restrictions after midnight, and for only a ten minute procedure? I have had friends tell me their experiences with ear tubes and I have heard more positive feedback than negative. We are willing to try anything to keep these seizures, fevers, and unnecessary 'staycation' hospital visits away.
On another note - Our speech therapy sessions have been increased to once a week. I was happy that we received the increase but I know that she needs more. I was also informed that after she turns three, she will be no longer in First Steps (which i knew) but she will be going to school for Pre-K at our local district. At the school, they will provide her with the same therapy services but it will be all day, three times a week. They also said that they provided bus services. We could not believe that she will be going to school before Abigail. I assure I will be getting much more information about this. I guess my letter of intentions got some attention.
